# The genome sequence of the Mottled Grey, Colostygia multistrigaria (Haworth, 1809) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Mottled Grey moth, including two haplotypes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Colostygia multistrigaria as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 482.72 and 504.67 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.63 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Colostygia multistrigaria (Mottled Grey; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 482.72 megabases and 504.67 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.19%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.63 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.
