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 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 sulcigaster is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Ross T. Bell in 1970. It is known from near Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. The holotype is a male measuring 5.5 mm (0.22 in) in length.
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 baldufi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell in 1970. It is endemic to the central and eastern United States, east of central Iowa, southeastern Missouri and southwestern Mississippi, as far south as northern Florida, and north to northern Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
Clinidium centrale is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1903. It is endemic to Costa Rica. Clinidium centrale measure 6–7.4 mm (0.24–0.29 in) in length.
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.
