Interesting question. Technically no "of" is required since "comprising" or "comprised" encompasses this meaning already. HOWEVER, in the constantly morphing fluid language of ours, use of "comprised of" is becoming increasingly common and accepted. In your example, though, with "comprising," the use of "of" does not seem to fit.

Generally it would be "comprised of" - comprising example:
Men and women comprising a group can be called "coed".
A group comprised of men and women could be called "coed".

No 'of'. It is tautologous in the context you quote.
