We present a genome assembly from an individual male Carterocephalus silvicola (Northern Chequered Skipper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 432.73 megabases and 429.52 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.67%) 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 15.77 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
