Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male cephid sawfly, Cephus spinipes (Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Cephidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 238.60 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.43 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Cephus spinipes; Hymenoptera; cephid sawfly; chromosomal; genome sequence.
