# The genome sequence of the Rivulet moth, Perizoma affinitatum (Stephens, 1831)

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for the Rivulet moth, including scaffolded chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 357.7 megabases and is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.9 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Perizoma affinitatum (the Rivulet moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 357.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.9 kilobases in length.
