Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Andrena hattorfiana (the Large Scabious Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence is 428.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into seven chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 22.7 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,349 protein coding genes.

Keywords: Andrena hattorfiana; Large Scabious Mining Bee; chromosomal; Hymenoptera; genome sequence.
