Deers has been used that way.

From A Popular History of Mammalia, 1850:

The subgenus Muntjacus is distinguished from the other deers by the horns being supported on elongated pedicels ...

From Comparative Genomics, 2000:

In contrast to other deers., the muntjaks display chromosome numbers ranging from the lowest chromosome number known in mammals of 2n=6 (female) and 2n=7 (male Indian muntjak; Muntiacus muntjak vaginalis. Figure 8) to 2n = 46 (Chinese muntjak; Muntiacus reeversi).

I would say that either deers or deer would be acceptable for this type of usage. However, if you want to be indisputably correct, you could use species of deer. I also suspect this is the most common term for this meaning, as neither deer nor deers sounds quite correct to me here.
