# The genome sequence of the spider-hunting wasp, Priocnemis perturbator (Harris, 1780) (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the spider-hunting wasp Priocnemis perturbator, providing a detailed genetic reference for this species.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Priocnemis perturbator as part of a larger biodiversity project.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 391.62 megabases long, with 67.88% scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 28.93 kilobases in length.
- Ensembl identified 24,581 protein-coding genes in the assembly.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Priocnemis perturbator (spider-hunting wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Pompilidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 391.62 megabases. Most of the assembly (67.88%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 28.93 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 24 581 protein-coding genes. 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.
