The following 3 species, listed alphabetically by specific name, are recognized as being valid: [1] [2]
Note that a binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Epibator.
Caledoniscincus is a genus of lizards in the family Scincidae (skinks). The genus is endemic to New Caledonia.
Graciliscincus is a lizard genus in the family Scincidae. The genus is indigenous to New Caledonia.
Lioscincus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to New Caledonia.
Marmorosphax, is a genus of skinks native to New Caledonia.

The terror skink, also called commonly Bocourt's terrific skink, Bocourt's eyelid skink and Bocourt's skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to the Île des Pins, a small islet off the coast of New Caledonia. First described in 1876, the species was presumed to be extinct, but was rediscovered in 1993, and since then several individuals have been seen. Because of its small area of occupation and small population size, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "critically endangered".
Geoscincus is a monotypic genus of skinks: the only accepted species is Geoscincus haraldmeieri.
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.
Celatiscincus is a genus of skinks. Both species are endemic to New Caledonia.
Phasmasaurus is a genus of skinks. Both species are endemic to New Caledonia.
Kuniesaurus albiauris is a species of skink endemic to New Caledonia. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Kuniesaurus. It is only known from a small patch of dense coastal forest with limestone substrate on the Isle of Pines. Due to its very small and restricted habitat, it is highly threatened by invasive species such as the little fire ant. It has been proposed that Kuniesaurus be classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
Caledoniscincus chazeaui, also known commonly as Chazeau's litter skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to New Caledonia.
