The genome sequence of a ground beetle, Leistus fulvibarbis Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Leistus fulvibarbis (ground beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Carabidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 261.71 megabases and 218.71 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (67.81%) was scaffolded into 23 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Most of haplotype 2 (71.48%) is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.39 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.
