Clinidium humile

Clinidium humile is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. [2] It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. [1] [2] It is known from "New Granada", which could be in either present-day Colombia or Panama. What now is the holotype of Clinidium humile was originally identified by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat as Clinidium cavicolle of "the other sex". The holotype is a male measuring 6.8 mm (0.27 in) in length. [1]

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.
