The genome sequence of the Argentine, Spatalia argentina (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1776 (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of <ns3:italic>Spatalia argentina</ns3:italic> (Argentine; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Notodontidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 324.98 megabases and 295.22 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.89%) is scaffolded into 27 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.64 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths. </ns3:p>
