Abstract: (scirtid beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Scirtidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 433.11 megabases and 421.17 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (96.49%) was scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Most of haplotype 2 (93.08%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.65 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.
