Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Pyrgus malvoides (Southern Grizzled Skipper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 746.71 megabases and 747.11 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.8%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.41 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 14,715 protein-coding genes.
