Hyles euphorbiae and H. vespertilio high quality genomes

The haploid genome of Hyles euphorbiae was corroborated to contain 29 chromosomes, the high‑quality PacBio genome of H. euphorbiae is published for the first time, functional annotations of the H. euphorbiae and H. vespertilio genomes are provided and the two genomes analysed to point to highly conserved synteny of genes in Hyles hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae).
