## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Nomada lathburiana (Lathbury's Nomad Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 269.68 megabases. Most of the assembly (90.08%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 29.04 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 11,607 protein-coding genes.
