# The genome sequence of the Dotted Ermel moth, Ethmia dodecea (Haworth, 1828)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Dotted Ermel moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

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

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 457.55 megabases long, with 99.87% scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.34 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Ethmia dodecea (Dotted Ermel; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Depressariidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 457.55 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.87%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.34 kilobases in length.
