## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the ichneumonid wasp Diplazon laetatorius, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Diplazon laetatorius, including 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 251.0 megabases and is largely scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 29.27 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Diplazon laetatorius (ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence is 251.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 29.27 kilobases in length.
