## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the Scorched Wing moth, including its chromosomal structure and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly of Plagodis dolabraria, including scaffolded chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 939.07 megabases long with 99.59% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.97 kilobases in length and has been assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Plagodis dolabraria (Scorched Wing; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 939.07 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.59%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.97 kilobases in length.
