We present a genome assembly from an individual male Carterocephalus palaemon (the Arctic Skipper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae).The genome sequence is Pouches 394.5 megabases in span.The whole assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.The Military UAV mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.
78 kilobases in length.Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,032 protein coding genes.
