The genome sequence of the dumpy grass hoverfly, Melanostoma mellinum (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Melanostoma mellinum (the dumpy grass hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syriphidae). The genome sequence is 731 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.67%) is scaffolded into five chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X and Y sex chromosomes assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 16.1 kilobases in length.
