In genus Homo:
Elves H. formosus
Drow H. formosus tenebrarum
Halflings H. pygmeus
Orcs H. ferox
In genus Genomus:
Dwarves G. barbatus
Gnomes G. artificis
Deep Gnomes G. profundi
It is likely that there is a genus Gigantanthropus which includes ogres (proposed G. atrox) and goliaths (proposed G. montanus) and perhaps other near giants. Research is ongoing.

Shouldn't Orcs be Cobalina? Orare early scholars in error as to the relationship of Goblins and Orcs?
The fluff is variable between editions, but they are all consistent that orcs can cross breed with humans whereas other goblinoids don't seem to. That suggests to me that 5e is correct and orcs aren't goblinoids, but in fact closer related to humans. Maybe the "missing link" between the groups.
So Dwarves are literally the "Bearded Gnomes". That's hilarious.
