Deskripsi

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Essex Skipper butterfly, Thymelicus lineola (Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae). The genome sequence spans 511.80 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.24 kilobases in length.
