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 humboldti 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 Alexander von Humboldt and the Humboldt Museum, from where the holotype was borrowed. It is known from "Nueva Granada", which could be in either present-day Colombia or Panama. The holotype is a female measuring 6.4 mm (0.25 in) in length.
Clinidium microfossatum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. Clinidium microfossatum is known from Martinique. The holotype, a male, measures 5.8 mm (0.23 in) in length.
Clinidium moldenkei is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is endemic to the Golfo Dulce region in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica. The species is named for the coleopterist Andrew R. Moldenke, collector of the holotype.
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 penicillatum 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 below the Calima Lake in Valle del Cauca Department, Colombia. The holotype is a female measuring 6 mm (0.24 in) in length.
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.
Clinidium trionyx is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is known from Cazabita in the Dominican Republic. The holotype is a male measuring 6 mm (0.24 in) in length.
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 beccarii is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1903. It is known from Hatam, New Guinea. It is named after the collector of the holotype, Odoardo Beccari. The holotype is a male measuring 8 mm (0.31 in) in length.
Clinidium dubium is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1903. It is known from Loja, Ecuador. The holotype measures 5.7 mm (0.22 in) in length.
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.
