## Abstract The synthesis of cuticular and hemolymph lipids in the scorpion __Paruroctonus mesaensis__, was examined using radiolabeled acetate and palmitic acid. Incorporation of 1β^14^Cβacetate into cuticular lipids was very low (0.03β0.13% of injected label), with the hydrocarbons exhibiting onl
