Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Anerastia lotella (Sandhill Knot-horn; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pyralidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,079.72 megabases and 957.24 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.38%) is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.31 kilobases.
