Figure 3

Ancestral state reconstruction of host-searching niche. Host searching niches are given for the terminal taxa together with antennal shape (see legend). In most species, the niches represent the pupation sites, while the whereabouts of the last instar caterpillars are given for the two larval-pupal parasitoids (marked with an asteriks). Maximum-likelihood ancestral-state reconstructions of the host-searching niches are given for each node, and maximum-parsimony reconstructions are shown as branch colours.
