* C. lectularius numbers may be an underestimate as sequencing coverage was low for this study, clade assignment was also uncertain as a result
** A more recent study [86] found 30 CCE genes in C. lectularius, and is more likely to be a true representation, but they had not been assigned into classes/clades
*** Numbers in brackets represent the possible true numbers of R. prolixus CCEs, based on a potential misassignment of 22 genes to the dietary class instead of the hormone/semiochemical processing class
