## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the V-Pug moth, including its 275.35 megabase genome and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for the V-Pug moth, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and sex chromosomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 275.35 megabases long, with 99.95% scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.49 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Chloroclystis v-ata (V-Pug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 275.35 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.95%) is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.49 kilobases.
