# The genome sequence of the Small Dotted Buff moth, Photedes minima Haworth, 1809

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Small Dotted Buff moth, including a detailed assembly of chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly of Photedes minima, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 694.66 megabases long, with 99.95% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.38 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Photedes minima (Small Dotted Buff; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 694.66 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.95%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.38 kilobases.
