The genome sequence of the click beetle, <i>Hemicrepidius hirtus</i> (Herbst, 1784) (Coleoptera: Elateridae)

Journal article

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Hemicrepidius hirtus (click beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Elateridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 377.55 megabases. Most of the assembly (96.79%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.9 kilobases. 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.
