Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Scotopteryx bipunctaria (the Chalk Carpet moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 326.4 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 16.38 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,083 protein coding genes.
