The Webb's tufted-tailed rat (<i>Eliurus webbi</i>) and the lesser tufted-tailed rat (<i>Eliurus minor</i>) are nocturnal and primarily arboreal rodents native to Madagascar, classified in the subfamily Nesomyinae. After species confirmation using <i>cytochrome b</i>, we assembled the first complete mitogenomes of <i>E. webbi</i> (<i>n</i> = 7) and <i>E. minor</i> (<i>n</i> = 3) from southeastern Madagascar. These mitochondrial genomes range from 16,310 to 16,313 nt for <i>E. webbi</i> and 16,296 to 16,302 nt for <i>E. minor</i>. These are the first assemblies of mitogenomes from Nesomyinae. This report enhances the evolutionary study and identification of Malagasy endemic rodents, and will support biodiversity research and wildlife conservation efforts.
