Hay otros gusanos que se crían en la chíen verde, que se llaman chiancuetla o chiencuetla, y también se llama tetepolchíchic. Son gruesos. Son entre blancos y verdes. Hácense tan largos como un palmo. Tienen cuernos en la cabeza. Ni son buenos ni malos, sino parece que espantan cuando los ven.
\nHay unos gusanos que se llaman nextecuili. Críanse debaxo de tierra. Son del largo y grusor de un dedo. Cuando no lueve roen las raíces del maíz, y sécase. Tienen pies y no andan con ellos, sino echados de espaldas. Y daquí toman un adagio, que los que hacen las cosas al revés llámanlos nextecuili.
