  We compiled a catalogue of infrared star clusters in the Galaxy, which are
most of them embedded. It condenses the growing literature information. We also
include in the sample infrared stellar groups which are less dense than star
clusters, such as those embedded in the dark clouds Taurus-Auriga and Chamaleon
I. We provide galactic and equatorial coordinates, angular dimensions,
different designations and related objects such as nebulae. A total of 189
infrared clusters and 87 embedded stellar groups are included. A fraction of 25
% of the embedded clusters are projected close to each other in pair or triplet
systems, indicating that multiplicity plays an important role in star cluster
formation.
