Six species are recognized as being valid. [2]
The species formerly known as H. thescelorhinos King, 1978 is a synonym of H. borneensis.
The Sumatran species H. modiglianii was previously known only from the type specimen, collected in 1891, but was found again in 2018. [3]
Nota bene : A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Harpesaurus.
Basiliscus is a genus of large corytophanid lizards, commonly known as basilisks, which are endemic to southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. The genus contains four species, which are commonly known as the Jesus Christ lizard, or simply the Jesus lizard, due to their ability to run across water for significant distances before sinking due to the large surface area of their feet.
Calotes is a genus of lizards in the draconine clade of the family Agamidae. The genus contains 25 species. Some species are known as forest lizards, others as "bloodsuckers" due to their red heads, and yet others as garden lizards.

The Amboina sail-finned lizard is a large agamid lizard, growing to over one metre (3.3 ft) in length. It is often confused as and for the largest of the sailfin dragons, however that title belongs to Hydrosaurus microlophus, with the second largest of the sailfin dragons being Hydrosaurus celebensis. It is found in wooded habitats near water in New Guinea and Ambon/Amboina Island (Indonesia). Although it has been reported from the Philippines and Sulawesi, a genetic study have shown that all in the former country are Philippine sailfin lizards H. pustulatus, while genetic and morphological studies have shown that individuals from the latter island belong to two separate species to which the names H. celebensis and H. microlophus are available. Adult male Amboina sail-finned lizards have outer edges of the eyes that are medium-dark clear blue and no nose crest, which are some of the features that separate them from the Sulawesi species.
