It may be further stated, that Aristotle perceived also 

 the distinction between the Mandilulata 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 Hymenaptera, 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 01 . 



From the above statement it will appear that this great 

 philosopher had no contemptible notion, though he 



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 f and insects IIolo- 

 ptera. De Anim. Inccss. c. 10.
