I think the complete list is:

lower-case r		voiced apico-alveolar trill 
(r)			(Spanish rr)
fish-hook r		voiced alveolar flap 
(r")			(Spanish r)
r with long leg		voiced strident apico-alveolar fricative trill
(r*)			(Czech r^)
r with right tail	voiced apico-postalveolar (=retroflex) flap
(r.)			(Hindi r.)
turned r		voiced alveolar frictionless continuant (=approximant)
(R)			(English r, var 1.)
turned r w/ right tail	voiced (median) retroflex approximant
(R.)			(English r, var. 2)
turned long-legged r    voiced alveolar flap, "intermediate between d and l"
(l*)			(Tswana?, Japanese?)
small capital r		voiced uvular trill
(R")			(French r, var 1.)
inverted small cap r	voiced uvular fricative / frictionless approximant
(R*)			(French r, var. 2)
