Clinidium halffteri is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. [2] It was described by R.T. & J.R. Bell in 1985. [1] [2] It is named after the entomologist Gonzalo Halffter, the co-collector of the type series. The type locality is Amates in southern Veracruz, Mexico, near the Gulf of Mexico at a low elevation. Males in the type series measure 6.1–6.5 mm (0.24–0.26 in) in length. [1]

It is known from Mérida state in western Venezuela; a specimen from Trujillo resembles Clinidium jolyi but might represent a distinct species. Specimens in the type series measure 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) in length.

Clinidium newtoni is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Ross T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is known from near Pueblo Nuevo Solistahuacán in Chiapas and from Francisco Morazán and Ocotepeque Departments in Honduras. The Honduran specimens were found under bark.

Clinidium spatulatum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. Its type locality is Santa Rita Ridge in Colón Province, Panama. Primarily a Panamanian species, its range extends to Osa Peninsula in southeastern Costa Rica. There is also a female collected from Gorgona Island (Colombia), which could well be a distinct species endemic to that island, but which has tentatively been assigned to this species, awaiting better material.

It is known from the Hidalgo state, Mexico. Specimens in the type series measure 6–6.7 mm (0.24–0.26 in) in length.

Clinidium whiteheadi 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 Donald R. Whitehead. It is known from Cerro Campana in Panama. The types were collected from the fruiting bodies of the slime mold Stemonitis:

Clinidium chevrolati is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Edmund Reitter in 1880. It is known with some certainty only from Pico Turquino in the Sierra Maestra, Cuba—the type locality of Clinidium turquinense—the type locality of Clinidium chevrolati, "Neu Granada", seems to be in error.

Clinidium blomi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to the High Plateau of Chiapas in southeastern Mexico.

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 integrum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1903. It is known from its type locality in western Amazonas state, Brazil, and from Leticia in Amazonas Department, Colombia.

Clinidium mathani is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1903. Originally known from the Amazon Basin of Brazil—its type locality is in the Amazonas State, near the border with Peru and Colombia, and there is another record from Amapá—it is now also known from the Colombian Andes in the Cordillera de los Picachos National Natural Park (Caquetá) and from near Inzá (Cauca). It is named after collector of the holotype, M. de Mathan.

Clinidium cavicolle is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1873. It is known from Colombia; there is an uncertain record from Brazil too. There is uncertainty as regards to the origin of the type specimen(s) as the original label refers to "Nova-Grenata, Bogoto", probably referring to Bogota. What is now designated as the lectotype is from Ocaña, Norte de Santander. The other syntype, probably of "the other sex", matches Chevrolat's description less well and was described in 1985 as Clinidium humile.

Clinidium mexicanum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1873. It is endemic to the southern part of the Mexican Plateau. Clinidium mexicanum measure 6–8.5 mm (0.24–0.33 in) in length.

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.

Clinidium planum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1844. It is probably endemic to Guadeloupe ; a female supposedly from "Mexico" probably represents another species and may have been mislabeled. Clinidium planum measure 5.3–6.3 mm (0.21–0.25 in) in length.
