The genome sequence of the Shy Cosmet Moth, <i>Limnaecia phragmitella</i> Stainton, 1851 (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Limnaecia phragmitella</i> (Shy Cosmet Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Cosmopterigidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 539.22 megabases and 553.78 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.9%) is scaffolded into 30 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 15.26 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.
