Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Rhorus exstirpatorius (an ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence spans 420.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.77 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Hymenoptera; Rhorus exstirpatorius; an ichneumonid wasp; chromosomal; genome sequence.
