The genome sequence of a ground beetle, Ophonus ardosiacus (Lutshnik, 1922) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ophonus ardosiacus (a ground beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Carabidae). The genome sequence is 911.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.61 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 40,995 protein coding genes.
