Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <i>Leptodirus hochenwartii</i> (cave beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Leiodidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 492.36 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.03%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 22.01 kilobases in length.
