## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Bee Wolf, a wasp species, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new reference genome for Philanthus triangulum, partially assembled into chromosomal pseudomolecules.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 575.71 megabases long, with 49.26% scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 24.54 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The assembly is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project focusing on eukaryotic species in Britain and Ireland.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Philanthus triangulum (Bee Wolf; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Crabronidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 575.71 megabases. The assembly is partially (49.26%) scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the remainder consisting of repetitive sequence that could not be assembled. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 24.54 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
