The genome sequence of the scorched carpet, Ligdia adustata (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ligdia adustata (the Scorched Carpet; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 399.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.43 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,979 protein coding genes.
