The genome sequence of the Oriental Meadow Brown, Cercyonis lupina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: (Oriental Meadow Brown; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 508.65 megabases and 467.75 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.9%) is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.22 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
