The genome sequence of the Red-necked Footman, <i>Atolmis rubricollis</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Atolmis rubricollis</i> (Red-necked Footman; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 647.88 megabases and 585.85 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.59%) 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 15.43 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.
