The genome sequence of the Light Arches, <i>Apamea lithoxylaea</i> (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Apamea lithoxylaea</i> (Light Arches; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 577.73 megabases and 521.26 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.15%) is scaffolded into 32 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 16.43 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.
