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.
