## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Blue-bordered Carpet moth, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA for the Blue-bordered Carpet moth.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 356.2 megabases in size.
- The assembly includes 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules and sex chromosomes (Z and W).
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.64 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Plemyria rubiginata (the Blue-bordered Carpet moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 356.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.64 kilobases in length.
