Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Leuctra nigra (black needle fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Plecoptera; Leuctridae). The genome sequence is 536.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules , including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.6 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Leuctra nigra; Plecoptera; chromosomal; genome sequence; stonefly.
