Euura lappo isolate:17059 Genome sequencing and assembly. Euura lappo isolate:17059

In order to expand the representation of Tenthredinidae, the most species-rich family within the Symphyta, we sequenced and assembled the genome of the bud gall inducing sawfly Euura lappo. E. lappo induces bud galls on its host willow, Salix lapponum. The abundance, high species number, marked host specificity, and diverse parasitoid complexes of willow-galling sawflies make them a highly suitable study system for research on host-associated genetic divergence and insect plant coevolution. This genome will also expand the representation of symphytan taxa in analyses of phylogenetic relationships and genomic composition within the order Hymenoptera.
