The genome sequence of the barkfly, <i>Psococerastis gibbosa</i> (Sulzer, 1776)

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <i>Psococerastis gibbosa</i> (barkfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Psocoptera; Psocidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 409.21 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.8%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.08 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,010 protein-coding genes.
