The genome sequence of the Tawny-barred Angle, Macaria liturata (Clerck, 1759) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns5:italic>Macaria liturata</ns5:italic> (Tawny-barred Angle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 370.32 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.37%) is scaffolded into 27 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.41 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. </ns5:p>
