Clinidium felix is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. [2] It was described by Ross Bell & J.R. Bell in 2009. [1] [2] It is only known from the Bocas del Toro Province in Panama and probably confined to Atlantic drainage of western Panama. The specific name is Latin translation of the type locality, "Fortuna". [1]

Clinidium felix measure 6.0–7.5 mm (0.24–0.30 in) in length. [1]
