The genome sequence of the barkfly, Loensia variegata (Latreille, 1799) (Psocodea: Psocidae)
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Loensia variegata</ns3:italic> (barkfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Psocodea; Psocidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 531.42 megabases and 488.90 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.63%) is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.94 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. </ns3:p>
