We present a genome assembly from an individual male Euproctis similis (the yellow-tail; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lymantriidae). The genome sequence is 508 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled.
