  • Chriolepis bilix Hastings & Findley, 2013 (Double-filament goby) [2]
  • Chriolepis cuneata W. A. Bussing, 1990 (Rail goby)
  • Chriolepis dialepta W. A. Bussing, 1990
  • Chriolepis fisheri Herre, 1942 (Translucent goby)
  • Chriolepis lepidota Findley, 1975
  • Chriolepis minutillus C. H. Gilbert, 1892 (Rubble goby)
  • Chriolepis prolata Hastings & Findley, 2015 (Platform goby) [3]
  • Chriolepis roosevelti (Ginsburg, 1939) (Roosevelt's goby)
