The genome sequence of the plain-faced dronefly, Eristalis arbustorum (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Eristalis arbustorum (the plain-faced dronefly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syriphidae). The genome sequence is 451 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (94.71%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X sex chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 16.0 kilobases in length.
