The genome sequence of the Puss Moth, <i>Cerura vinula</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Cerura vinula</i> (Puss Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Notodontidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 690.59 megabases and 688.27 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.72%) is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.79 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.
