Daemons seem somewhat elf-like, but any species created to be concubine-like is likely to be somewhat elf-like - I don't really think they are too much so. The fact that they are not connected to nature in some vague but deep fashion + their focus on politics makes them definitely more than an elf/bishi stereotype.
As for the give races in general - the categories are sufficiently broad that some of them will fall into one or another. If you have a hulking combat species (which honestly seems very likely - someone would eventually create them, if only as gladiators), then you're well into the orc side of the orc/dwarf Stouts. Similarly, a small long-fingered tech type is firmly into gnome or faerie territory
Of course, some of the obvious ideas for such a setting don't fit into any of these five very much - I'd definitely expect some species with notable animals features (mostly either as combat forms or especially decorative concubines), as well as some zero-G or vacuuum adapted species and some aquatics.
On the pulpier side, green martians don't fit any of these well, nor do intelligent white apes, or many of the Niven's Ringworld hominids (all of which are obvious sources for inspiration for UtGM)
In any case, as long as a good proportion of the species (at least 1/3 or so) don't fall into one of the five categories, then you should be fine.

btw, welcome to my f-list.
