The genome sequence of the Small Dotted Buff moth, <i>Photedes minima</i> Haworth, 1809

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <i>Photedes minima</i> (Small Dotted Buff; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 694.66 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.95%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.38 kilobases.
