Dendrogram of the Dipetalogaster maxima salivary lipocalins with other insect salivary lipocalins. The sequences derived from the nonredundant protein database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) are represented by six letters followed by the NCBI gi| accession number. The six letters derive from the first three letters of the genus and the first three letters from the species name. The protein sequences were aligned by the Clustal program,³⁹ and the dendrogram was made with the Mega package⁴⁰ after 10,000 bootstraps with the neighbor-joining algorithm. The bar at the top represents 20% amino acid substitution. The colorful squares indicate each insect species whose sequences were used.
