The genome sequence of the Brown Argus, Aricia agestis (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775).

ABSTRACT: We present genome assemblies from two male Aricia agestis specimens (the Brown Argus; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The genome sequences are 435.3 and 437.4 megabases in span. Each assembly is scaffolded into 23 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genomes were assembled and are 15.47 and 15.45 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of these assemblies on Ensembl identified 12,688 and 12,654 protein coding genes.
