One species (bourouniensis, now a synonym of lineatus) was recorded from New Guinea (De Jong 1926), but probably in error (Musters 1983).

| |
Draco hennigi McGuire, Cotoras, O'Connell, Lawalata, Wang-Claypool, Stubbs, Huang, Wogan, Hykin, Reilly, Bi, Riyanto, Arida, Smith, Milne, Streicher, Iskandar 2018 |
Remarks:
Prevously included abbreviatus and cristatellus.
McKay (2006) questioned the presence of the species in Bali, but it is included herein for the island, based on other authors (Witte 1933; repeated by Manthey 2008).
Baker & Lim's (2008) statement that fimbriatus was present in the past, but not confirmed recently from Singapore surely refers to abbreviatus,
whose type locality is Singapore.
According to Manthey (2008), grandis is neither a synonym of fimbriatus, nor of abbreviatus, however, he did not formally revalidate the taxon
as a separate species.
Taxonomic history of punctatus has been turbulent.
Prevously regarded as a valid species (e.g., Hennig 1936), a subspecies of fimbriatus (e.g., Manthey 2008),
a synonym of same (e.g., Musters 1983), or a synonym of cristatellus (Inger 1983).
Considered a separate species by McGuire, Cotoras, O'Connell, Lawalata, Wang-Claypool, Stubbs, Huang, Wogan, Hykin, Reilly, Bi, Riyanto, Arida, Smith, Milne, Streicher, Iskandar (2018).
A more detailed clarification of the distribution of fimbriatus vs. punctatus is still pending (The Reptile Database).

Remarks:
The type locality is Java, but the species is not believed to occur in this island, and it is now restricted to the Maluku province of eastern Indonesia (McGuire, Brown, Riyanto & Andayani 2007). Previously included beccarii, bimaculatus, modiglianii, and rhytisma. McGuire & Kiew (2001) revalidated bourouniensis as a separate species, but the senior author later synonymized it again with lineatus (McGuire, Brown, Riyanto & Andayani 2007), as it had also been earlier (e.g., Inger 1983). Recorded from Kai Islands (e.g., Musters 1983; Wermuth 1967), Misool (e.g., Musters 1983), and New Guinea (Jong 1926), but probably all in error (Musters 1983; McGuire, Brown, Riyanto & Andayani 2007).
