## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the braconid wasp Microplitis deprimator, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Microplitis deprimator, including 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 233.20 megabases in total length.
- 99.12% of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 19.62 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female braconid wasp,
Microplitis deprimator (Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Braconidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 233.20 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.12%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.62 kilobases in length.
