## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the Marsh Click-beetle, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Actenicerus siaelandicus, including scaffolded chromosomes and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 854.91 megabases long with 95.23% scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.17 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Actenicerus siaelandicus (Marsh Click Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Elateridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 854.91 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.23%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.17 kilobases in length.
