Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Heteropelma amictum (an ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence is 226.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.65 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Heteropelma amictum; Hymenoptera; an ichneumonid wasp; chromosomal; genome sequence.
