## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Feathered Ranunculus, a moth species, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Polymixis lichenea, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 716.7 megabases and is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.48 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Polymixis lichenea (the Feathered Ranunculus; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 716.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.48 kilobases in length.
