The genome sequence of the Scalloped Hazel moth, Odontopera bidentata (Clerck, 1759) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present a genome assembly from an individual male Odontopera bidentata (Scalloped Hazel; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 494.53 megabases and 498.07 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.04%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.72 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.
