We present a genome assembly from an individual male Conops quadrifasciatus (the Four-banded Bee-grabber; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Conopidae). The genome sequence is 210.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.07 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 23,090 protein coding genes.
