Abstract
<ns3:p> <ns3:bold> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns3:italic>Anopheles funestus</ns3:italic> (the malaria mosquito; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Culicidae). The genome sequence is 251 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into three chromosomal pseudomolecules with the X sex chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length. </ns3:bold> </ns3:p>
