The genome sequence of a ground beetle, <i>Dromius quadrimaculatus</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Dromius quadrimaculatus</i> (ground beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Carabidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 778.78 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.73%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.57 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.
