様さま々ざまN3
様々 is an い/な-adjective-like word emphasizing diversity within a group, while 各種 is a formal noun/prefix stressing the existence of distinct categories or types.
いろいろN5
色々 is a casual, everyday way to say 'various', while 各種 is a stiffer, formal word typical of business or official documents.
諸しょ種しゅ
諸種 is an even rarer, bookish synonym for 各種, both meaning 'various kinds' but 諸種 sounding more literary.
あらゆるN3
各種 is a more formal, business-style word meaning 'various kinds (of)', whereas あらゆる is broader and stresses that literally every kind is included.

各かく自じN2
各種 means 'various kinds (of things)', while 各自 means 'each person individually'; the shared kanji 各 makes them easy to mix up despite very different meanings.

Compound of 各 (each, every) and 種 (kind, type). The reading かくしゅ is the on'yomi for both characters.
