It may be further stated, that Aristotle perceived also 
the distinction between the Mandibulata and Haustellata 
of modern authors : for he observes, that some insects 
having teeth are omnivorous; while others, that have 
only a tongue, are supported by liquid food '. He ap- 
pears to have regarded the Hymenoptera, or some of 
them, as forming a third subclass; since he clearly 
alludes to them, when he says that many have teeth, 
not for feeding, but to help them in fulfilling their in- 
stincts m . 
From the above statement it will appear that this great 
philosopher had no contemptible notion, — though he 
a Aristotle calls winged insects Pterota when he would distinguish 
them from those that are apterous, and Ptilota when he contrasts 
them with birds. (Comp. Hist. Anim. 1. iv. c. 1. with 1. i. c. 5.) Some- 
times he calls birds thus contrasted Schizoptera, and insects Holo- 
ptera. De Anim. Incess. c. 10.
