Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Selenia dentaria (the Early Thorn; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 1,030.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.41 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,390 protein coding genes.

Keywords: Early Thorn; Lepidoptera; Selenia dentaria; chromosomal; genome sequence.
