Single-insect samples collected and analyzed for mitochondrial markers. The geographic and/or commercial source of the material as well as year of collection is given for each sample. Also noted is whether the sample was obtained from a small-scale cochineal farmer (“Small-scale”), a large-scale commercial vendor (“Commercial”), or wild-caught (“Wild”). “Sample Type” states whether the sample was derived from grana or fresh insects. The total sample size and the number of sequenced cytochrome c oxidase I (cox1) and 12S rRNA mitochondrial genes are also given
