mouth. As a major group, A noplura is divisible into two 
suborders : (1) the llaiistellata, which have the mouth pro- 
duced into a fleshy sucking proboscis armed with hooks, 
within which are two sharp stylets inclosed in a chitinous 
sheath; and (2) Mandibulata, in which the mouth is pro- 
vided with mandibles. The former includes the lice 
trasted with Enopla (which see). The Anopia in-
