@Persaphonia- the plural form of incubus or sucubus is incubi or sucubi. Kind of like cactus=cacti.
There are a dozen different types of vampires, but there are only those three catagories. There's, and I assure you, a different type of vampire for almost every place where there is such thing as a vampire. Many of them are all basically the same thing, but the myths surrounding them and some of their characteristics are different. In some places, it's even believed that their variant of the vampire was actually a helper to the people before becoming drunk off the scent of blood and draining a woman of her body's blood before moving on to more victims.
Everyone, if you're planning on posting a catalog of vampires, get it mostly right and include at least semi-proper grammar.
*EDIT* There's no such thing as a flesh-eating vampire. What you're referring to is a zombie and is no way like a vampire. Vampires are mostly considered intelligent, if not dead, creatures. Zombies, which eat flesh, are considered universally, to be unintelligent.

Elda Von Katherine Well as for this topic... Yet if you go to wikipedia like i did and type vampire i completely disagree with whatever they state... "In folkloric tales, the undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive." That was an extract from Wikipedia. Vampires are free roaming, they are rumored not to be able to cross water but i completely doubt so. And then there is a rumor that vampires cannot be near garlic. Well, what are they expecting? A massive allergy reaction? I mean, vampires have sensitive noses and a delicate sense of smell. And as for stabbing a vampire through the heart with a stake. Wouldn't anyone die? Like hell yea. There are also many beliefs the ways that vampires come around as an undead. But seriously, you have to bitten by one and even better, you have to extend an invitation for them to bite you. Then how do find one? Many elaborate rituals were used to identify a vampire. One method of finding a vampire's grave involved leading a virgin boy through a graveyard or church grounds on a virgin stallion — the horse would supposedly balk at the grave in question. Generally a black horse was required, though in Albania it should be white. Holes appearing in the earth over a grave were taken as a sign of vampirism. Like haha! I mean, if there is a drought the earth cracks or there are just some holes left by a forgetful and careless grave digger... Wooh boy... Even the myth of vampires reflection not turning up in a mirror. FAKE. The Greek vrykolakas/tympanios was capable of both reflection and shadow... See? Many things people say are FAKE and assumed by their weak assumptions just to reassure themselves. that is very true. a;so, the cross thing, absolutely fake.

I agree with Persaphonia. Those are the only three types of vampires I've heard of, and and as Persaphonia said, all the other's (mostly) appear to fall into those categories.
I think Jill2282 is also right. A flesh-eating vampire...well.. it really doesn't make much sense. Likewise, there's some that don't fit at all. Afterall, Vampires are creatures that in one way or another leech off of other creatures for energy.
So how would a Hellfire vampire work? a Mage vampire? Or god forbid, a space vampire? At the top it was basically describing vampires kind've like Scientific names, except the first word being what they drain, and the second of course being species, but as you move further down the list, it seems to suggest more that they're a vampire... that can do this.
For example, I'm assuming a Mage Vampire is a vampire with magical abilities? Doesn't that still just make it a vampire, and depending on what it drains, should fall under one of the upper categories?
(P.S. Isn't Human vampire a tidbit contradictory?)

I kinda agree with the zombie part. I kinda knew that there are different essences of vampires, but to pinpoint what it was those types exactly do (other than the classical vampire Dracula) was beyond me....so I'm actually getting educated here xD
