Abstract/Summary

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Watsonalla cultraria (Barred Hook-tip; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Drepanidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 319.38 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.94%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16 011 protein-coding genes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.21 kilobases.
