Abstract
To a large extent, a chitinous external cuticle is the distinguishing feature of arthropods (Barnes, 1980). Many of the other features considered characteristic of arthropods, such as growth by molting or the jointed appendages, are either directly or indirectly tied to the possession of the cuticle (Cisne, 1974; Neville, 1975; Grasshoff, 1981).
