The genome sequence of the Reed Tussock moth, Laelia coenosa (Hubner, 1808) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Laelia coenosa (Reed Tussock; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,109.06 megabases and 795.63 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (99.91%) was scaf...
