Abstract: (Purple-barred Yellow; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 241.87 megabases and 241.80 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (99.57%) was 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 18.13 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
