Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nemoura dubitans (a stonefly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Plecoptera; Nemouridae). The genome sequence is 321.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.73 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Nemoura dubitans; Plecoptera; chromosomal; genome sequence; stonefly.
