The genome sequence of the Sallow moth, Xanthia icteritia (Hufnagel, 1766)

<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Xanthia icteritia</ns3:italic> (the Sallow moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 664.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.58 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,792 protein coding genes.</ns3:p>
