We report the complete mitogenome (Mt) sequences of Aedes (Howardina) busckii and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) taeniorhynchus. The sequences were extracted from one individual per species from the Dutch Leeward Island of Saba. The length of the Ae. busckii Mt was 16,794 bp with 80.6% AT content. The Ae. taeniorhynchus Mt was 16,216 bp long with 79.8% AT content. These are the first full Mt sequences available for these species.
