Their envenomation&amp;nbsp;causes a severe hemorrhagic syndrome that can be fatal. Although antivenom therapy exists it is only produced using &lt;em&gt;Lonomia obliqua&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;venom extract. More than 60 additional species of &lt;em&gt;Lonomia &lt;/em&gt;are distributed across Central and South America, many of which pose an uncharacterized risk to human health. To enable comparative venom studies and genome-guided discovery of toxin genes, we present the first genome assembly of &lt;em&gt;Lonomia casanarensis&lt;/em&gt;, a species responsible for most envenomation cases in Colombia. The assembly, generated using PacBio Revio long-read sequencing, spans 483.4 Mb with a scaffold N50 of 7.7 Mb, N90 of 2.4 Mb, and &amp;gt;99% BUSCO completeness. It comprises 154 contigs organized into 118 scaffolds and a complete mitochondrial genome. Phylogenomic analyses based on 1,190 single-copy orthologs place &lt;em&gt;L. casanarensis&lt;/em&gt; within a clade of scoli-bearing saturniids. We provide a genomic map of the 21 venom genes previously identified from &lt;em&gt;L. obliqua&lt;/em&gt; transcriptomic and proteomic data. This high-quality genome provides a foundation for the development of improved antivenoms and facilitates exploration of novel bioactive compounds from Lonomia venoms.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
