comment What's “species counterpoint”? Are there any other types of counterpoint?
@MonicaCellio Yes. See "The Study of Counterpoint" by Joseph Fux, born 1660. In it, he describes all species of counterpoint.

comment What's “species counterpoint”? Are there any other types of counterpoint?
Yes, I'd say that's a good way to put it. The five species of counterpoint are the building blocks composers use to compose counterpoint in general.

comment What's the difference between sixteenth century counterpoint and eighteenth century counterpoint?
In my understanding, counterpoint is counterpoint. It's what you do with it that makes the difference.
