Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: (Madeiran Speckled Wood; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 528.41 megabases and 523.51 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.02%) is scaffolded into 28 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 15.27 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
