Michael,
I consulted my copy of Norman Heim's _Clarinet in Literature and
Outline_ and you have them all listed except:

1. Telemann, _Concerto for Two Clarinets_ for two clarinets (originally
for 2 chalumeau), published by Musica Rara.

2. Pokorny, Franz X., _Concertos_ in E-flat and B-flat, published
Breitkopf und Hartel.

3. Rossler, (aka Rosetti) Franz Anton, _Concerto in E-flat),
edited by Voxman and published by Rubank.

4. Devienne, Francois, _Symphonie Concertante Op. 25 for 2 Clarinets_,
pub. Musica Rara.

5. Tausch, Franz, _Concerto in E-flat_, pub. Editio Musica (My copy is
probably a more recent one, ed. by Peter Clinch and pub. Cramer).

6. Riotte, Phillipp Jacob, _Concerto in B-flat_, pub. Sikorski.

Of these the Rossler is considered by some, to be more of an
"educational piece" meaning for students, but it is still fun to play. I
use it as an intro. to Classical style before K. Stamitz #3, and then to
the Mozart K. 622. The Devienne is a lot of fun to play with a friend or
colleague - the first part, though, is definitely the more featured part.
The Telemann is more effective with chalumeaux (see David Ross's
presentation at the clarinet convention), but is useful for studying
Telemann's style.
I have played through the Tausch and thought that it was OK, but
still needed some re-editing for consistency within the piece. Since I
don't have the original manuscript, I have not undertaken this job as of
yet. The second mov't is especially nice.
Even though Tartini was in the Baroque period, he was fairly late
so the Gordon Jacob arrangement of Tartini's works entitled _Concertino_,
pub. by Boosey and Hawkes might also work. If Stoltzman can play and
record it, then we can too, even though it is an "arrangement."
Have fun!
