Hi brendan64-ga: While exact figures for numbers of species varies with time, the following figures allow us to create a definite ordering. Insects: 751,000 species Fish: 19,056 species Birds: 9,040 species Reptiles: 6,300 species Amphibians: 4,184 species Mammals: 4,000 species Keep in mind that this is just for described (or discovered) species. There are likely still many, many species that have not been described.
