The genome sequence of the Drinker, Euthrix potatoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Euthrix potatoria</i> (Drinker; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lasiocampidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 487.86 megabases and 466.06 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.97%) 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 15.43 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
