Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Asteroscopus sphinx (the Sprawler moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 857.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome and a putative B chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.35 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Asteroscopus sphinx; Lepidoptera; chromosomal; genome sequence; the Sprawler moth.
