The genome sequence of the Knapweed Pearl, <i>Paratalanta hyalinalis</i> (Hübner, 1796) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Paratalanta hyalinalis</i> (Knapweed Pearl; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Crambidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 529.45 megabases and 506.05 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.95%) is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome, while most of haplotype 2 (99.85%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.2 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.
