The genome sequence of the New Zealand flax mealybug, Trionymus diminutus (previously known as Balanococcus diminutus) (Leonardi, 1918)

<ns4:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns4:italic>Trionymus diminutus</ns4:italic> (formerly <ns4:italic>Balanococcus diminutus</ns4:italic>) (New Zealand flax mealybug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Pseudococcidae). The genome sequence is 313.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.68 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,939 protein coding genes.</ns4:p>
