Static handstand, walking on hands forward, backwards, sideway, etc.
Planche and progressions
Lever and progressions
Handstand Push-Up and progressions
Presses to Handstand
Hollow and arch rocks
Movements from the bridge; e.g., bridge-to-stand, backbends, twisting in and out of bridge from either side.

Tumbling movements and their progressions; carthwheels, flips, handsprings, walkovers, etc.

And for the legs: Pistols.

The lower-upper body training ratio is really kinda skewed without a barbell, isn't it?

Good List!

Reverse pushups, bridging, bear crawls.

sprinting and jogging

Bodyweight step-up variations as well.

rope climbing is another good variation on pullups

Extended arms; fingertip "push-ups". Kinda like using ab wheel in the extended position....lie on floor, arms extended with fingertips on floor; contract every damn muscle you can and raise body off floor and hold for 5 count, then repeat 'till you can't do anymore. If really good, can do it with 1-arm instead of two. Good Luck & HAPPY HOLIDAYS

rossboxing.com has some nice pushup variations on his Low-Tech High-Effect video. I love "Power Overs". You could also try a 1-legged squat-jump, if you reach anything over 18 inches your doing good.

Yeah, sprinting! Can't believe that I forgot that. Nothing like hill sprints to hit the hamstrings and glutes without much back involvement.

Cant forget the Leg Raises (level/decline) crunches (level/decline) and back extensions.

List of bw exercises?　Gymnastics. With some floor space, a wall, and a bar you can do a ridiculous amount of things to keep you busy for years. The world of bw exercise is not just high rep calithstenics.

Quartertonner,

That is brutal, when I was 15, my dads 55 year old friend bet me 100 dollars US if I could do it ( I live in OZ and he was down for holidays) I couldn't, he did 3-4 one handed and told me next time he saw me I had to be able to do it. Well ten years later he came back for my brothers wedding, he remembered, asked me and I still couldn't and sure at the age of 65 he could still do 2-4 one handed. Inspiring.

I love power overs! Recently, I also tried using that same concept for legs, it got pretty brutal (just body weight). A lot of depth or drop jumps have the potential for building strength and some muscle mass, at least theoretically. I'm not aware of any studies, but if you figure out the amount of force your muscles have to produce in order to decelerate your mass when you fall/jump even from just a foot...well, I suck at math, but it's a surprisingly big number for a small distance.

Actually, I guess gymnasts reap the benefit of that sort of training (whether its floor routines or swinging around a bar or rings), and, as has been mentioned many times, they tend to be pretty muscular despite not eating or specifically training to be.

Take it easy,

3. Lunges - Walking for time/distance or with weights in hands.

Abs - Various bodyweight exercises such as leg raises, situps, weighted situps, v situps, crunches, hanging leg/knee raises, dragonflys, etc.

I'll add more as I think of them.

I've found pushing up off of my ass and hitting the weight room to be incredibly effective for muscular growth.

Lie on your back, bring your knees up so your feet are flat on the floor, bring your elbows up and reach back so your palms are flat on the floor.
Now push up. In the end you should be in a similar position to a crab stretch. Then lower yourself until your upper back touches the ground.

is there any effective lower back body weight exersise?

The Gymnastic Bridge, although I think it works other parts of your body harder.
See my post above describing reverse pushups? Just get into the upper position and hold it. If your hands and feet are close enough together your lower back will have to really flex to keep you in position.
Also the Wrestler's Bridge as taught by Matt Furey is great.

Arch rocks are effective. Hold the position depicted above (below? Don't know where the pics show up), and rock, keeping your body as close as possible to one smooth curve, like a small plate or bowl pushed of balance.

Yes, it hurts, and it's very difficult.

And yes, it does look like you're getting acquainted with the floor in a manner not entirely suitable in public. More something for the privacy of a hotel room.
