Abstract
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns3:italic>Harmonia axyridis</ns3:italic> (the harlequin ladybird; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Coccinellidae). The genome sequence is 426 megabases in span. The majority (99.98%) of the assembly is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X sex chromosome assembled. </ns3:p>
