What races in Star Trek would you have liked to have seen a bit more of and learned about?

For me the Tholians, Trek used them a little bit but we never really learned a whole lot about them beyond the short times we had seen them in the various series from TOS to even Enterprise, I don't think they ever appeared in TNG or Voyager. The Iconians also would have been interesting to learn about.
 
Tholians definitely. SNW and Lower Decks are both good opportunities to use them yet they still haven't.

In terms of one-shot aliens I'd like to see again: Conspiracy Aliens, Kelvans, Voth. Sheliak too, though I also like the idea of a large power near the UFP that just never ever wants to interact with anyone else, positive or negative.
 
Bolians.

I always wanted to learn more about them beyond them being blue people.

Also, Tzenkethi and the Breen. Although, I wonder if the more you explain about the Breen, the less it works. Their entire thing is being mysterious people in encounter suits.
 
I agree with a lot of the ones, others have listed, but I'll still just give my list:
Tzenkethi, Jarada, Tholians, Kelvans, Sheliak, Vaadwaur, Voth, Kzinti, Breen, Swarm, Conspiracy aliens, Silent Enemy aliens, Schism aliens, Hunters, Remans, Son'a. I'm sure there's more if I sat down and thought harder about it.
 
I"d like to see the Malcorians turn up in Discovery.

Also, the Viidians and the Talaxians are ancient enough (warp capable for many centuries, even before Vulcans) I'd insert a couple stragglers in the UFP's backyard or even within, even in SNW.

I'd also would have liked to see a more educated/academic Talaxian who truly knows the region- Neelix and the couple we've seen before Homestead knew the region around Talaxia/Ocampa as two-bit smugglers.
 
The Sheliak! They're my favorites. I love how they're utterly impressed by Jean-Luc's tendency to throw pompous speeches around. :D

That was my second choice until my pet theory was proven wrong in Disco season 4. I thought originally that the Sheliak were actually the Ba'ul from Saru's homeworld, and then they appeared again in Disco season 4 so that put an end to that little idea.
 
^The Ba'ul were descended of some Sheliak who crash-landed on Kaminar centuries earlier. Here you go, a new head canon for you.
 
I would love have to seen aliens that appeared in the books or games like the Chodak(Fish like aliens) from Final Unity or the Brassicans(Plant like aliens with three dights. They love tests.) from Judgement Rites.
