## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the jumping weevil, Orchestes rusci, including its chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly of the jumping weevil, including scaffolded chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 624.00 megabases.
- The mitochondrial genome is 21.73 kilobases in length.
- The assembly includes 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the X sex chromosome.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Orchestes rusci (the jumping weevil; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Curculionidae). The genome sequence spans 624.00 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.73 kilobases in length.
