“…Most records of the adult moth in Britain and Ireland are from September to November, when they will visit ivy blooms or are attracted to light. These adults mate, and the mated females overwinter as adults, emerging to give a second flight period from April to June ( Newman, 1869 ). In Italy, Austria and Finland, overwintering in caves has been recorded ( Moog et al , 2021 ; Soderholm, 2022 ; Teobladelli, 2008 ).…”

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Chloroclysta siterata (the Red-green Carpet; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 437.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.7 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,814 protein coding genes.

“…The forewing colouration is variable, but a consistent feature is a division of the ground colour into two near equal regions: a darker basal region (the ‘cloak’) and a paler cream, buff or brown distal region. Colour variants were originally considered different species before conspecificity was recognized ( Newman, 1869 ). The adult moth is on the wing in July and August, with the larvae feeding on grasses including sheep’s-fescue Festuca ovina , tufted hair-grass Deschampsia cespitosa and false oat-grass Arrhenatherum elatius ( De Prins & Steeman, 2022 ; Waring et al , 2017 ).…”

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Mesoligia furuncula (the Cloaked Minor; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 889.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,903 protein coding genes.

“…The adult moth is on the wing in early spring, peaking in April in southern England, with larvae feeding in summer on the leaves of deciduous trees including Prunus , Crataegus and Salix ; the pupal stage overwinters. Abundance of the species in Britain has declined by over 70% since 1970 ( Randle et al , 2019 ); in the 19th century it was sufficiently abundant in London to cause widespread defoliation of trees ( Newman, 1869 ).…”
