Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of (fungus weevil; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Anthribidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 555.31 megabases and 554.55 megabases. Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 11 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 17.09 kilobases.
