Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Hydrotaea cyrtoneurina (muscid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Muscidae). The genome sequence is 575.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.6 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Diptera; Hydrotaea cyrtoneurina; chromosomal; genome sequence; muscid fly.
