Abstract/Summary
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Brachmia blandella (Gorse Wanderer, Gorse Crest; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Gelechiidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 498.99 megabases. Most of the assembly (96.45%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.62 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.
