Clinidium newtoni is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae.[1] It was described by Ross T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985.[1][2] It is known from near Pueblo Nuevo Solistahuacán in Chiapas (southern Mexico)[2] and from Francisco Morazán and Ocotepeque Departments in Honduras.[3] The Honduran specimens were found under bark.[3]
Clinidium newtoni is named after entomologist Alfred F. Newton, the collector of the holotype. The holotype is a male measuring 7 mm (0.28 in) in length.[2]
