【班苗】

《名医别录》说：又名土蜂。生长在熊耳山及柯地，或者人的房屋之间。
按语：《说文解字》说：“KT”（此处指代某种蜂类字形），即KT蠃、蒲卢，是腰部细小的土蜂。有的写作螺蠃，螺就是蠃。《广雅》说：土蜂，就是（此处缺字，指代土蜂）。《尔雅》说：土蜂。《毛诗》说：螟蛉有子，螺蠃背负着它。《传》说：螺蠃，就是蒲卢。《礼记》说：为政就像蒲卢（化生迅速）一样。郑玄注说：蒲卢，就是果蠃，指的是土蜂。《方言》说：蜂，其中小的，称为（此处缺字），或者称为蚴蜕。《说文解字》中没有（此处缺字）这个字，或许应当是“医”字。

按语：《尔雅》说：蛆，就是吴公（蜈蚣）。
【水蛭】

《名医别录》说：又名（此处缺字），又名至掌。生长在雷泽。五月、六月采集，晒干。
按语：《说文解字》说：蛭，就是虮；（此处缺字），就是蛭（此处缺字），也就是至掌。《尔雅》说：蛭虮。郭璞说：现在江东地区称呼进入人肉里的水中蛭虫为虮。另外关于蛭（此处缺字）、至掌，郭璞说：详情不明，根据《名医别录》，就是蛭。

《吴普本草》说：斑猫，又名斑蚝，又名龙蚝，又名斑苗，又名胜发，又名盘蛩，又名晏青。神农认为：味辛；岐伯认为：味咸；桐君认为：有毒；扁鹊认为：味甘，有大毒。生长在河内的山川河谷中，或者生长在水边的石头下。

The Commentary states: Luo Luo is Pu Lu. Liji (Book of Rites) states: Governance is like Pu Lu (transforming quickly). Zheng Xuan notes: Pu Lu is Guo Luo, referring to the earth bee. Fangyan states: Among bees, the small ones are called [missing character], or You Tui. Shuowen Jiezi does not contain the character [missing character]; it might be the character "Yi" (physician/heal).

Flavor: Pungent. Nature: Warm. Indications: Treats Gui Zhu (a contagious chronic consumptive disease), Gu Du (poison from venomous insects), and neutralizes poisons from various snakes, fleas (Zao, likely a variant for Zao/Flea), and fish.
