The genome sequence of the Northern Grizzled Skipper, <i>Pyrgus centaureae</i> (Rambur, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae)

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <i>Pyrgus centaureae</i> (Northern Grizzled Skipper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 758.98 megabases and 671.41 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.62%) is scaffolded into 31 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 15.4 kilobases.
