## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Brown-spot Pinion moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotations for Agrochola litura, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 772.2 megabases and is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 19,500 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.55 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Agrochola litura (the Brown-spot Pinion; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 772.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.55 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 19,500 protein coding genes.
