# The genome sequence of the Four-spotted Footman moth, Lithosia quadra (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Four-spotted Footman moth, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the high-quality genome assembly of Lithosia quadra, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 456.27 megabases long with 99.91% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.38 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Lithosia quadra (Four-spotted Footman; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 456.27 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.91%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.38 kilobases in length.
