Abstract
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Melitaea cinxia</ns3:italic> (the Glanville fritillary; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 499 megabases in span. The complete assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 13,666 protein coding genes. </ns3:p>
