Velites and Light Armed

What are the differences between the velites and light armed? Livy mentions them fighting together at the battle of Ilipa. The latin is this: velitumque et levis armaturae. Translated it reads: velites and the light armed. So they are not one of the same. I know what the velites looked like. What about the "light armed"..? Hastati with no body armor..?
Thanks Johnny
