For each of the different trophic groups and insect families, primary species are listed and baseline information is provided on their associated host plants, mealybug hosts, and eventual status as hyperparasitoid (or mummy parasitoid).

a Host range data cover plant hosts for herbivores and mealybug hosts for primary parasitoids, as distilled from Ben-Dov et al. (2016), Noyes (2016) and Yu et al. (2012). Primary host records were also obtained from the above sources.
