# The genome sequence of the leafhopper, Arthaldeus pascuellus (Fallén, 1826) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the leafhopper Arthaldeus pascuellus, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality reference genome for Arthaldeus pascuellus, including 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 1,275.44 megabases long, with 99.4% scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 20.4 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The work is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, focusing on eukaryotic species from Britain and Ireland.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Arthaldeus pascuellus (leafhopper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Cicadellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 275.44 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.4%) is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 20.4 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.
