Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Microrhagus pygmaeus (Pygmy False Click Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Eucnemidae). The primary assembly has a total length of 320.80 megabases. Most of the primary assembly (91.11%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 35.45 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
