The genome sequence of the Dusky Grizzled Skipper, Pyrgus cacaliae (Rambur, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Pyrgus cacaliae (Dusky Grizzled Skipper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Hesperiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 808.81 megabases and 696.79 megabases.
