Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Cataclysta lemnata (Small China-mark; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Crambidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 432.44 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.51%) is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.36 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...
