Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female woodlouse fly, Melanophora roralis (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Rhinophoridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 565.10 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.9%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.44 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 20,321 protein-coding genes.
