Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Straw Grass-veneer moth, Agriphila straminella (Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Crambidae). The genome sequence has a length of 511.50 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 26 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.36 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,087 protein-coding genes.

Keywords: Agriphila straminella; Lepidoptera; Straw Grass-veneer moth; chromosomal; genome sequence.
