Did you intend to say that you have data for two groups? And, are these count data?

yes indeed, two groups and count data.

Your choices are limited as these appear to be nominal data. The typical test for nominal data is the chi-square test. However, the chi-square test is problematic with cell counts less than 5. Also, the counts are so large for class 5 that it will almost always result in statistical significance.
