## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the ichneunomid wasp Ischnus inquisitorius, providing a detailed reference for this species.

## Contribution

The study provides the first haploid genome assembly of Ischnus inquisitorius, including a nearly complete chromosomal scaffolding.

## Key findings

- The haploid genome assembly is 232.18 megabases long.
- 99.81% of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 29.53 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a haploid genome assembly from an individual male
Ischnus inquisitorius (ichneunomid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 232.18 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.81%) is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 29.53 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.
