The genome sequence of Erhard's wall lizard, <i>Podarcis erhardii</i> (Bedriaga, 1882)

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <i>Podarcis erhardii</i> (Erhard's wall lizard; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Lacertidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,495.98 megabases and 1,477.75 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.28%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.14 kilobases.
