## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the click beetle Ampedus sanguinolentus sanguinolentus, including detailed haplotype and mitochondrial genome assemblies.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the high-quality genome assembly of a click beetle species, including two haplotypes and a complete mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,574.76 and 1,572.87 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules covering 97.13% of the assembly.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.99 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Ampedus sanguinolentus sanguinolentus (click beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Elateridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,574.76 megabases and 1,572.87 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.13%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, while haplotype 2 is a scaffold-level assembly. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.99 kilobases in length.
