# The genome sequence of the Summer Chafer, Amphimallon solstitiale (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the Summer Chafer beetle, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Amphimallon solstitiale, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 1,584.1 megabases and is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 19.29 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Amphimallon solstitiale (the Summer Chafer; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Scarabaeidae). The genome sequence is 1,584.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.29 kilobases in length.
