Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Metopia argyrocephala (the silver-fronted satellite fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Sarcophagidae). The genome sequence is 626.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.21 kilobases in length.
