Doktoranduppsats - pre-(?) PhD paper

Pre-PhD paper - it's a paper we PhD students at Stockholm University have to write before we start our seriouse research... I've been fully at work with my first real paper before I was reminded to write this pre-PhD paper.
I've been struggling with this paper all Christmas, doing as much as possible during the holidays.
About 30 pages, 9 weeks = 15 points.
Soon, or coming week I'll hope to deliver it to my supervisor for the first check. If I've got it right and wether I'm on the right track or not. I haven't decided on title yet but the article is about the host relationship of the Euphorinae and I'm looking to see if the old hypothesies are still OK though the phylogeny have come to new insights.
My first problem was the information about the hosts. How reliable are they? My group are adult parsitoids attacking Coloptera, Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Psocoptera and Orthoptera. Well, then I found lots and lots of references to Lepidoptera!?

Over and out for this time!
