# The genome sequence of the Crescent Bell, Epinotia bilunana (Haworth, 1811)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Crescent Bell moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Epinotia bilunana, including scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 659.0 megabases and is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The Z sex chromosome and a 15.4 kilobase mitochondrial genome were successfully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Epinotia bilunana (the Crescent Bell; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Tortricidae). The genome sequence is 659.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length.
