    Abstract:
    The soybean hawkmoth Clanis bilineata tsingtauica Mell (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae; CBT), as one of the main leaf-chewing pests of soybeans, has gained popularity as an edible insect in China recently due to its high nutritional value. However, high-quality genome of CBT remains unclear, which greatly limits further research. In the present study, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level genome of CBT using PacBio HiFi reads and Hi-C technologies for the first time. The size of the assembled genome is 477.45 Mb with a contig N50 length of 17.43 Mb. After Hi-C scaffolding, the contigs were anchored to 29 chromosomes with a mapping rate of 99.61%. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologues (BUSCO) completeness value is 99.49%. The genome contains 252.16 Mb of repeat elements and 14,214 protein-coding genes. In addition, chromosomal synteny analysis showed that the genome of CBT has a strong synteny with that of Manduca sexta. In conclusion, this high-quality genome provides an important resource for future studies of CBT and contributes to the development of integrated pest management strategies.
