Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Charanyca ferruginea (the Brown Rustic; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 854.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.36 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 23,126 protein coding genes.
