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 al- 
ludes to them, when he says that many have teeth, not 
for feeding, but to help them in fulfilling their instincts”. 
From the above statement it will appear that this great 
philosopher had no contemptible notion,—though he has 
only distinguished three of them as larger groups by ap- 
propriate names,—of the majority of the Orders of Insects 
2 Aristotle calls winged insects Pterota when he would distinguish 
them from those that are apterous, and Péilota 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 Hoio- 
ptera. De Anim. Incess. c. 10. ;
