to be accurate there are only five species because Physignathus lesueurii howitti is a subspecies of Physignathus lesueurii.

But yes, as far as I know those are the only recognized water drasgon species. I do know that some peeps in the land down under claim more suspecies of Physignathus lesueurii, but they are just slight geographical variations and have never formally been recognized as ssp.
