# The genome sequence of the false flower beetle, Anaspis regimbarti Schilsky, 1895

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the false flower beetle, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Anaspis regimbarti, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 457.61 megabases long.
- 99.89% of the assembly is organized into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.39 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Anaspis regimbarti (the false flower beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Scraptiidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 457.61 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.89%) is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.39 kilobases in length.
