Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Rheumaptera hastata (Argent & Sable; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 589.77 megabases and 588.77 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.85%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.57 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
