## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Fig-leaf Skeletoniser moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotations for Choreutis nemorana, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 300.2 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 15,351 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Choreutis nemorana (the Fig-leaf Skeletoniser; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Choreutidae). The genome sequence is 300.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.52 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 15,351 protein coding genes.
