Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Cheilosia urbana (the hawkweed Cheilosia; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 546.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.08 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Cheilosia urbana; Diptera; chromosomal; genome sequence; hawkweed Cheilosia.
