# The genome sequence of an ichneumonid wasp, Polytribax perspicillator (Gravenhorst, 1807)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a male ichneumonid wasp, Polytribax perspicillator, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Polytribax perspicillator, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 314.21 megabases long.
- 99.94% of the assembly is organized into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 25.68 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Polytribax perspicillator (ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 314.21 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.94%) is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 25.68 kilobases in length.
