We present a genome assembly from a female Nicrophorus investigator (Banded Burying beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Silphidae). The genome sequence is 202.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 23.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,046 protein coding genes.
