Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Periphyllus acericola (the sycamore periphyllus aphid; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Aphididae). The genome sequence has a total length of 405.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 33.63 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,463 protein-coding genes.

Keywords: Hemiptera; Periphyllus acericola; chromosomal; genome sequence; sycamore periphyllus aphid.
