    Abstract:
    The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) is one of the most notorious insect pests of potatoes globally. Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of L. decemlineata using a combination of the PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technologies. The genome assembly (-1,008 Mb) is anchored to 18 chromosomes (17 + XO), with a scaffold N50 of 58.32 Mb. It contains 676 Mb repeat sequences and 29,606 protein-coding genes. The chromosome-level genome assembly of L. decemlineata provides in-depth knowledge and will be a helpful resource for the beetle and invasive biology research communities.
