In most taxa, nymphs or larvae are the endophytic life stage. Orders with fewer endophytic taxa have most of their endophytic families listed, whereas space limitations prevents listing of all endophytic families. Endophytic designations based on various edited volumes (McAlpine et al., 1981, 1987; Solomon, 1995; Powell et al., 1998; Arnett and Thomas, 2000; Arnett et al., 2002; Labandeira, 2005; Raman et al., 2005). Groups marked with a superscript G or L include gall-inducing or leaf-mining species. Percent herbivorous species is taken from Wiens et al. (2015).
