Complete mitochondrial genomes of four species of Ethiopian speckled brush-furred rats Lophuromys (L. chrysopus, L. menageshae, L. melanonyx, and L. simensis) were assembled for the first time. We provide data concerning the sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the obtained mitogenomes; compare two widely used circular-genome annotation tools (MITOS and MitoZ), and discuss relevant points concerning relationships within both Ethiopian Lophuromys and the Muridae family.
