Bavayia crassicollis, also known as the strand bavayia is a gecko endemic to the Loyalty Islands in New Caledonia. [2]

The habitat and range of this species are thought to have been reduced by clearance of land for human habitation and agricultural use, which poses an ongoing threat. Introduced species are thought to have decreased its population through predation, and the introduced electric ant ( Wasmannia auropunctata ) may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates.

Dierogekko is a genus of geckos in the family Diplodactylidae. The genus is endemic to the northwest portion of New Caledonia. They are sometimes known commonly as the striped geckos or the New Caledonian geckos. Dierogekko are small geckos with simple, granular scales and subdued patterning of broad longitudinal stripes or spots. They are similar in overall appearance and habit to closely related geckos in the genera Bavayia and Oedodera, and the type species D. validiclavis was once referred to Bavayia.

It is endemic to humid montane forests on Mont Ignambi and Mont Panié in the Panié massif of New Caledonia. It was once considered a species of Bavayia, a similar genus of arboreal geckos. Paniegekko madjo is endangered, owing to predation by introduced rodents and cats combined with habitat degradation by wildfires and introduced pigs and deer. It has not been observed since 1998.
