Maximum likelihood tree of candidate odorant receptor (OR) proteins from R. ferrugineus. ML analysis was computed using MEGA (v.6.0) [42] (JTT model for ML heuristic searches methods was Nearest-Neighbor-Interchange). Insect ORs: T. castaneum, M. caryae, D. ponderosae and I. typographus were also used for the construction of the tree. R. ferrugineus ORs transcripts and nodes are marked with red color. The branch containing D. melanogaster Orco was used as outgroup to root the tree. The different subfamily (numbered 1–7 according to Engsontia et al., [23]; Mitchell et al., [24]; Andersson et al., [25] colored group as indicated. Two new subfamilies (named VIII and IX) proposed as shown in the figure. GenBank accession nos are indicated. Scale 0.6 amino acid substitutions per site. Refer Additional file 10: Table S3 for the details of GenBank accession nos
