Ghost moths are an unusual family of primitive moths (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) known for their large body size and crepuscular adult activity. These moths represent an ancient lineage, frequently have soil dwelling larvae, and are adapted to high elevations, deserts, and other extreme environments. Despite being rather speciose with more than 700 species, there is a dearth of genomic resources for the family. Here, we present the first high quality, publicly available hepialid genome, generated from an Andean species of ghost moth, Druceiella hillmani. Our genome assembly has a length of 2,586 Mbp with contig N50 of 28.1 Mb and N50 of 29, and BUSCO completeness of 97.1%, making it one of the largest genomes in the order Lepidoptera. Our assembly is a vital resource for future research on ghost moth genomics.
幽灵蛾是一类原始的大型蛾类（鳞翅目：长足目），以其体型大、黄昏时活动的成虫而闻名。这些蛾类代表了一个古老的谱系，幼虫经常在土壤中生活，并且适应高海拔、沙漠和其他极端环境。尽管幽灵蛾种类繁多，有超过 700 种，但该家族的基因组资源却很少。在这里，我们展示了第一个高质量的、公开可用的幽灵蛾基因组，它来自安第斯山脉的幽灵蛾 Druceiella hillmani。我们的基因组组装长度为 2586 Mbp，具有 28.1 Mb 的 contig N50 和 29 的 N50，以及 97.1%的 BUSCO 完整性，使其成为鳞翅目目中最大的基因组之一。我们的组装是未来幽灵蛾基因组学研究的重要资源。
