The other two Sphinxes are the Criosphinx which has the head of a horned ram (and of course the body of a lion), and the Hieracosphinx which has the head of a falcon and the body of a lion OR Griffin.

Androsphinx
Androsphinx is the most common of the three Sphinxes. The Androsphinx has the body of a lion and a human head. While it is most commonly a Male, there are female Sphinxes. The most famous representation of the Androsphinx lies in the shadows of the Great Pyramid and has the head of a man wearing a Pharaonic headdress. This particular sphinx is said to have a female lion body. However I have not truly confirmed this fact.
