The genome sequence of the spider-hunting wasp, <i>Priocnemis perturbator</i> (Harris, 1780) (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)

Journal article

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Priocnemis perturbator (spider-hunting wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Pompilidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 391.62 megabases. Most of the assembly (67.88%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 28.93 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 24 581 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
