The specific name, thomaswhitei, is in honor of "Dr. Thomas White". [2]
D. thomaswhitei is found on the island of Grande Terre, in North Province, New Caledonia. [3]
The preferred natural habitats of D. thomaswhitei are forest and shrubland, at altitudes of 300–1,000 m (980–3,280 ft). [1]
Relatively large for its genus, D. thomaswhitei may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 4.5 cm (1.8 in). [3]
Bavayia is a genus of lizards in the family Diplodactylidae. Species in the genus Bavayia are also known commonly as New Caledonian geckos or bavayias. The genus is native to the remote New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands. The 12 species are moderately small to medium-sized geckos, and are distinguished from other genera by their tail length and the shape of their digits.
Eurydactylodes is a small genus of geckos commonly referred to as chameleon geckos from the subfamily Diplodactylidae, endemic to New Caledonia and few adjacent islands. Within the Diplodactylidae, Eurydactylodes resides in the Carphodactylini tribe, and consists of four species. All species share similar morphology as well as lifestyle and habits. The first of the Eurydactylodes species to be classified, E. vieillardi, was discovered in 1869.
Rhacodactylus leachianus, commonly known as the New Caledonian giant gecko or Leach's giant gecko or colloquially Leachie, is a large species of gecko in the family Diplodactylidae. The species, which was first described by Georges Cuvier in 1829, is endemic to New Caledonia.
Mniarogekko chahoua is commonly known as the mossy New Caledonian gecko, short-snouted New Caledonian gecko, Bavay's giant gecko, or mossy prehensile-tailed gecko. It is an arboreal gecko found natively on the southern portion of the island of New Caledonia and on the outlying islands of Île des Pins.
Correlophus sarasinorum, also called commonly Roux's giant gecko, Sarasins' giant gecko, Sarasin's [sic] giant gecko (incorrectly), and the suras gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Diplodactylidae.

The Diplodactylidae are a family in the suborder Gekkota (geckos), with over 150 species in 25 genera. These geckos occur in Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. Diplodactylids are the most ecologically diverse and widespread family of geckos in both Australia and New Caledonia, and are the only family of geckos found in New Zealand. Three diplodactylid genera have recently been split into multiple new genera.
Bavayia sauvagii, also known commonly as Sauvage's bavayia and Sauvage's New Caledonian gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Diplodactylidae. The species is endemic to New Caledonia.
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.
Dierogekko validiclavis, also known as the bold-striped gecko, is a gecko endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Dierogekko inexpectatus also known as Key New Caledonian Gecko is a gecko endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Dierogekko insularis, also known as the Islands striped gecko, is a gecko endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Dierogekko kaalaensis, also known as the Kaala striped gecko, is a gecko endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Dierogekko koniambo, also known as the Koniambo striped gecko, is a gecko endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Dierogekko nehoueensis, also known as the striped gecko, is a gecko endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.

Eurydactylodes symmetricus, sometimes known commonly as the symmetrical gecko or the large-scaled chameleon gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Diplodactylidae. The species is endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Eurydactylodes vieillardi, sometimes known commonly as Bavay's gecko or Vieillard's chameleon gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Diplodactylidae. The species is endemic to Grande Terre in New Caledonia.
Paniegekko is a monotypic genus of geckos in the family Diplodactylidae, containing the species Paniegekko madjo. 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.
