Each mandible is a single solid piece, and is devoid of palp. The second pair of maxillae (mx. 2) are united in their basal portions to form a lower lip (labium). Jointed palpi (pin) are borne both by the first pair of maxilla? (maxillary palpi) and by the second (labial palpi). All the jaws become differently modified in the different orders in accordance with differ- ences in the nature of the food. Insects, which like cock- roaches and beetles, masticate hard substances, have the mandibles strong and sharp and the maxillae well developed, and adapted to act as masticatory organs. Insects which, like cicadas, bugs, lice, and plant-lice, live on the juices of plants or animals, have the jaws in the form of sharp stylets, enclosed in a sheath or proboscis, for piercing the integu-.
