We present a genome assembly from an individual female Deilephila elpenor (the Elephant Hawk-moth; Arthropoda; here Insecta; Lepidoptera; Sphingidae).The genome sequence is 414.1 megabases in span.Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes.

The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.37 kilobases in att nighthawk hotspot length.Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,748 protein coding genes.
