A 30.28 Mb draft genome sequence was assembled and annotated for the melanized ascomycetous fungus Exophiala xenobiotica NRRL_64630 (Pezizomycotina; Chaetothyriales) isolated from La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles, California. Species identification was made by phylogenetic assessment of the Internal Transcribed Spacer. This is the first isolated fungal species from this historic space.
