# The genome sequence of the flounced rustic, Luperina testacea (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Luperina testacea, including chromosomal scaffolding and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 601 megabases in size.
- 99.98% of the assembly is organized into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.3 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Luperina testacea (the flounced rustic; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 601 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.98%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled, and is 15.3 kilobases in length.
