The genome sequence of Ashworth’s Rustic, Xestia ashworthii (Doubleday, 1855) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Xestia ashworthii (Ashworth’s Rustic; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 726.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.39 kilobases in length.
