Genus is listed if there is only 1 genus represented in the phylogenetic group. Most phylogroups contain species of a single family, and often of a single genus. Left blank when species across multiple genus are present in the phylogroup.

^**

Distinct pheromones are determined in every species and averaged across species in the phylogenetic group.

^***

Copynumber of each distinct pheromone is averaged within a species (for species that have more than one distinct candidate), and then averaged across species in a phylogenetic group.
