The closest I've managed to such a list is to visit http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Sector ... y_Sector_1 (and the other 7), and click the arrows at the top of the 'Inhabitants' column to sort them that way.
Thank you for your time,

So the base types are these:
Birds
Felines
Frogs
Furry Humanoids
Horned Humanoids
Humans
Insects
Lizards
Lobsters

That's it, everything else is a variation of said base race, fat, color, bony, slimy and so forth.

Eight base types, plus human colonials - as per the species icons here.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

That's my count.
So no xenimorphs, or biomechs (other then in the stories), or lupins/canines.

The species labels are pretty vague … "Insect" is a huge classification on its own, and could contain a whole mass of very different types of creatures. "Rodent" is pretty massive too. And "humanoid" could conceivably cover just about anything that has two arms and two legs and a head roughly near the top … it could be pretty much a "miscellaneous" catch-all category for things that don't fit anywhere else. A "furry humanoid" might easily describe something canine, like the Vargr from Traveller: maybe there just aren't enough canine species to justify a separate category.
