# The genome sequence of Erebia montana Berg-Mohrenfalter (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Erebia montana butterfly, including detailed assemblies of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly with scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and sex chromosomes for Erebia montana.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 597.21 and 499.88 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including W, Z1, and Z2 sex chromosomes.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.2 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Erebia montana (Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 597.21 megabases and 499.88 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.25%) is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W, Z
1, and Z
2 sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.2 kilobases.
