Clinidium is a genus of wrinkled bark beetles in the subfamily Rhysodinae. Most species are Neotropical, but some occur further north in North America and there is also one species in Europe and one in Japan. Two species are known from Miocene amber.
Clinidium alleni is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is named for R. T. Allen, whose collection efforts have contributed to the understanding of beetle fauna in lower Central America. It is known from Cerro Jefe in Panama. The holotype is a male measuring 4 mm (0.16 in) in length.
Clinidium bechyneorum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is known from its type locality in Carabobo, northern Venezuela. An additional specimen that might represent a distinct species is from the neighboring Aragua state. The species is named for J. Bechyne and B. Bechyne, collectors of the type series and many other Clinidium specimens.
Clinidium excavatum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is known from its type locality in Carabobo, northern Venezuela. Clinidium excavatum measure 6.5–6.8 mm (0.26–0.27 in) in length.
Clinidium pala is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is known from its type locality in Guatopo National Park, northern Venezuela. Clinidium pala measure 5–5.5 mm (0.20–0.22 in) in length.

Clinidium chiolinoi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to Jamaica. Clinidium chiolinoi measure 4.4–5.6 mm (0.17–0.22 in) in length.
Clinidium corbis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to Hispaniola. Clinidium corbis measure 4.4–5.5 mm (0.17–0.22 in) in length.
Clinidium darlingtoni is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to Jamaica.
Clinidium haitiense is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T.Bell in 1970. It is known from La Selle Range in Haiti. Clinidium haitiense measure 5.7–6.4 mm (0.22–0.25 in) in length.
Clinidium incis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to Puerto Rico. The specific name is derived from the Latin incus and refers to the type locality, El Yunque, which is the Spanish word for anvil. Grammatically, the spelling should have been incudis.
Clinidium rosenbergi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to the United States, primarily to the eastern United States east to the Appalachian Mountains, but it reaches the Delaware River in Pennsylvania and is found west of the Mississippi River in Missouri.
Clinidium rossi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Ross Bell in 1970. It is known from Golfito in Costa Rica. The holotype, a male, measures 4.1 mm (0.16 in) in length.
Clinidium valentinei is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States, from northern Alabama to southwestern Pennsylvania.
Clinidium xenopodium is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to the Dominican Republic (Hispaniola).
Clinidium rojasi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1873. It is known from the mountains of northern Venezuela between Falcón and Aragua states and from Guyana.
Clinidium extrarium is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. & J.R. Bell in 1978. The type series originates from "N. Amerika"; the specific locality is unknown but likely was in the tropical lowlands of Mexico or northern Central America.
Ross Taylor Bell was an American entomologist with particular interest in the invertebrate natural history of Vermont, United States, and carabid beetles. Together with his wife, Joyce Bell, his work at the University of Vermont was largely taxonomic, where they described more than 75% of the rhysodine species known to science. Ross also wrote a number of seminal papers in his chosen field.
