DELIMITATION OF COCCOPHAGUS SPECIES

Morphological process

At least one Coccophagus individual was reared from> 100 rearings of scale insect species (among> 2000 rearings of scale insects). A total of 3129 specimens of Coccophagus belonging to 17 morphospecies (Supporting Information, Figs S1 and S 2 , figures of Coccophagus longipedicellus were not presented) were reared from 30 scale insect species collected in the field (Supporting Information, Table S1 and Fig. S3). Coccophagus species that could not be identified with certainty were treated with a numeric code ( Coccophagus sp1 , Coccophagus sp2 ). The name originally applied to a morphospecies is retained as a reference point but is not meant as a firm scientific identification.

Figures

Figure 1. Bayesian inference phylogram of the 17 Coccophagus species using 115 haplotypes of combined data (COI + 28S). Numbers above branches indicate Bayesian posterior support for individual clades with two Coccophagus species from Africa used as outgroup. Host names were listed right after each Coccophagus species: names marked with black and red indicating hosts producing only female and male wasps, respectively; names marked with green indicating hosts producing both female and male wasps. Hosts belonging to Eriococcidae (Eriococcus lagerostroemiae), Kermesidae (Kermes nawae) or Pseudococcidae (Phenacoccus aceris nr1) are underlined.

Figure 2. Female (blue) and male (red) composition on each hosts for the 17 Coccophagus species. Host species were labelled on the right of histograms. Host species belonging to Eriococcidae (Eriococcus lagerostroemiae), Kermesidae (Kermes nawae) and Pseudococcidae (Phenacoccus aceris nr1) are marked with ‘*’.
