摘要：

1. 1. Eleodes armata exhibited greater water loss than Cryptoglossa verrucosa at all temperatures and humidities. 2. 2. At low temperatures and humidities, water lost through transpiration predomated; at higher temperatures and humidities, a greater percentage was lost via quinone secretions. 3. 3. No uptake of atmospheric moisture was observed for either species, C. verrucosa exhibited a reduction in water loss with increased dehydration. 4. 4. The presence of intact elytra reduced water loss in E. armata. 5. 5. Resistance to desiccation in the two species was correlated with observations of their seasonal abundance and activities. © 1969.
