We present a genome assembly from an individual female Laothoe populi (the poplar hawk-moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Sphingidae). The genome sequence is 576 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled.
