Article Synopsis
- The first nuclear genome assembly and complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) for Hylesia metabus, a species of moth, has been presented, with the nuclear genome being one of the largest for lepidopterans at 1,271 Mb.
- The nuclear genome is organized into 31 pseudo chromosomes with a high quality BUSCO score of 99.5%, and contains a significant amount of repetitive elements, primarily located in intergenic regions.
- The assembled genomes are available on the BIPAA website and will aid future studies in population and comparative genomics.
The Saturniidae is one of the most emblematic families of moths, comprising nearly 3000 species distributed globally. In this study, DNA barcode analysis and comparative morphology were combined to describe three new species within the genus , which is the most diverse genus in the family. Decaëns, Rougerie & Bonilla, , Decaëns, Rougerie & Bonilla, , and Decaëns, Rougerie & Bénéluz, are described from the Colombian Orinoco watershed, the Colombian Eastern Cordillera, and the area of endemism of Belém in the Brazilian Amazonia, respectively.
