Maybe you can find something looking through the documentation of Npgsql, which is an implementation of a .NET Data Provider for PostgreSQL.

This page of the documentation actually contains a complete table of what you are looking for. Search for "4. Current Npgsql Status" - "Supported data types". There is a nice table with all PostgreSQL data types and their correspondents in .NET.
