The genome sequence of the Kentish Glory, Endromis versicolora (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Endromidae)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We present a genome assembly from an individual male Endromis versicolora (Kentish Glory; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Endromidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 391.90 megabases and 391.44 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.84%) is scaffolded into 26 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 15.6 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
