# The genome sequence of an ichneumonid wasp, Exephanes ischioxanthus (Gravenhorst, 1829)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a male ichneumonid wasp, Exephanes ischioxanthus, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and mitochondrial sequence for Exephanes ischioxanthus, a species within the Hymenoptera order.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 284.0 megabases and is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 19.43 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Exephanes ischioxanthus (an ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence is 284.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.43 kilobases in length.
