Minecraft has a lot of entity 'subtypes' with very unclear names and no documentation that I can find, so I did my own documentation by manually checking the tags for a bunch of entities.
The above spreadsheet shows which entities are tagged as "mob entities", "animal entities", "monster entities", "water mob entities", "ambient entities", "ageable entities", "creature entities", "flying entities", "hanging entities", "golem entities" and "living entities".
The only "hanging entities" seem to be item frames and paintings, and the only "golem entities" are snow golems, iron golems, and, weirdly enough, shulkers. Ghasts and phantoms count as "flying entities", but blazes, withers, bees and bats apparently do not. "Mob entities" includes all entities with AI and pathfinding behavior.
The ender dragon consists of 9 separate entities, 8 of which aren't tagged in any of the entity categories and 1 of which is tagged in the same category as slimes and magma cubes, probably due to technicalities regarding the AI implementation.

Another thing that needs to be said: the "Zombie" subtype includes normal zombies as well as zombie villagers and ziglins, but not zoglins or zorses. By contrast, the "Skeleton" subtype includes only normal skeletons, not wither skeletons or strays.
I'm still not totally sure what the distinction is between "player" and "server player". I'm guessing it relates to a client-side and server-side player entity.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful for some people.
Also, subtype "spider" includes spiders and cave spiders.
And subtype "slime" also includes magma cubes.
