## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Warted Knot-Horn moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Acrobasis repandana.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 620.40 megabases long, with 99.78% scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 11,522 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.21 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of
Acrobasis repandana (Warted Knot-Horn moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pyralidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 620.40 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.78%) is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.21 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,522 protein-coding genes.
