Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Pseudeuparius sepicola (Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Anthribidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 769.10 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.99%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.55 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Coleoptera; Pseudeuparius sepicola; chromosomal; fungus weevil; genome sequence.
