The cuticular hydrocarbons of the Mormon cricket, Anabrus simplex, are all saturated and consist of n-alkanes (29+%), 3-methylalkanes (12%), internally branched monomethylalkanes (26+%), and dimethylalkanes (28+%). The principal n-alkane is the C29 component, with a range from C23 to C33. The 3-methylalkanes range from C28 to C32, and the internally branched monomethyl- and dimethylalkanes range from C29 to C39. When the branched alkanes of A. simplex are compared to those from other insects in the order Orthoptera, interesting patterns of methyl branching are observed.
摩门螽斯（Anabrus simplex）的表皮碳氢化合物均为饱和烃，由正构烷烃（29%以上）、3-甲基烷烃（12%）、内部支链单甲基烷烃（26%以上）和二甲基烷烃（28%以上）组成。主要的正构烷烃是C29成分，范围从C23到C33。3-甲基烷烃范围从C28到C32，内部支链单甲基和二甲基烷烃范围从C29到C39。当将摩门螽斯的支链烷烃与直翅目其他昆虫的支链烷烃进行比较时，会观察到有趣的甲基分支模式。
