The genome sequence of the Cypress Tip Moth, Argyresthia cupressella Walsingham, 1890 (Lepidoptera: Argyresthiidae)

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Argyresthia cupressella</ns3:italic> (Cypress Tip Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Argyresthiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 768.40 megabases and 764.97 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.84%) is scaffolded into 45 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 15.87 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. </ns3:p>
