# The genome sequence of the hoverfly, Epistrophella euchroma (Kowarz, 1885)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the hoverfly Epistrophella euchroma, including its sex chromosomes and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Epistrophella euchroma, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial sequence.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 523.3 megabases and is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.24 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Epistrophella euchroma (hoverfly, Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 523.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.24 kilobases in length.
