Abstract
Cydalima perspectalis (the box tree moth), Leptoglossus occidentalis (the western conifer seed bug), and Tecia solanivora (the Guatemalan tuber moth) are three economically harmful invasive insect species. This study presents their genomic and transcriptomic sequences, generated through whole- genome sequencing, RNA-seq transcriptomic data, and Hi-C sequencing. The resulting genome assemblies exhibit good quality, providing valuable insights into these species. The genome sizes are 500.4 Mb for C. perspectalis, 1.74 Gb for L. occidentalis, and 623.3 Mb for T. solanivora. These datasets are available in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (BioProject PRJNA1140410) and serve as essential resources for population genomics studies and the development of effective pest management strategies, addressing significant gaps in the understanding of invasive insect species.
