Clinidium bechyneorum
Clinidium bechyneorum 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 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.[1]
