The genome sequence of the mottled umber, Erannis defoliaria (Clerk, 1759)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Erannis defoliaria (the mottled umber; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 522 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.93%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled, and is 13.1 kilobases in length.
