The genome sequence of the darkling beetle, Phaleria cadaverina (Fabricius, 1792) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns3:italic>Phaleria cadaverina</ns3:italic> (darkling beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Tenebrionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 367.34 megabases. Most of the assembly (75.2%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.61 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. </ns3:p>
