I've put together a repository here https://github.com/nemchik/ssh-key-regex
I've cited credit to @paranoiq for this gist and @MaPePeR for all of the amazing information provided here in the comments.

If I am made aware of new supported key types I will be happy to update the information or accept pull requests to improve.

A potential future goal will be to use GitHub pages to present the information as a webpage with nicer formatting.
