Long read, high-coverage reference genome of the Nymphalid butterfly Catonephele acontius
Catonephele acontius (Nymphalidae:Biblidinae:Epicalinii) is a butterfly species with wide distribution across the Neotropics including the Amazon. Here, we present a long-read high-coverage reference genome for this species to serve as a genomic resource for future studies on Biblidinae butterflies, a group that is the subject of ongoing studies of seasonal adaptation under climate change.
