The genome sequence of the Grass Wave, Perconia strigillaria (Hübner, 1787) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <ns3:italic>Perconia strigillaria</ns3:italic> (Grass Wave; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 470.59 megabases and 447.11 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.81%) is 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 15.43 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths. </ns3:p>
