Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Sympetrum striolatum (the Common Darter; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Libellulidae). The genome sequence is 1349.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.16 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Common Darter; Odonata; Sympetrum striolatum; chromosomal; genome sequence.
