Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Aglais urticae (also known as Nymphalis urticae; the small tortoiseshell; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 384 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled.
