Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Eledona agricola</i> (darkling beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Tenebrionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 358.83 megabases. Most of the assembly (75.64%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.31 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.
