Cuticular Protein (CP) gene numbers for selected species.

Species	CPR	CPF & CPFL	TWDL	CPAP
An. gambiae	156	11	12	21
Ap. mellifera	32	3	2	20
B. mori	148	5	4	24

Abbreviations are CPR (RR family cuticular proteins), CPF (cuticle proteins with 44 amino acid domain), CPFL (CPF-like), TWDL (Tweedle), CPAP (cuticular proteins analogous to peritrophin). Gene numbers for M. sexta and the CPAP family are from (Dittmer et al., 2015). Gene numbers for An. gambiae, Ap. mellifera, and D. melanogaster are from (Willis, 2010) and references within. Gene numbers for B. mori are from (Futahashi et al., 2008). Gene numbers for T. castaneum are from (Dittmer et al., 2012).
