Adults of De. magnus were collected in or close to crab holes at several localities on Sint Maarten. Van der Kuyp (1948, 1949, 1953, 1954) identified this species as De. cancer , but it was later identified as De. magnus by Adames (1971) after examining Van der Kuyp’s original material. Deinocerites cancer has not been recorded from other islands of the Lesser Antilles ( Gaffigan et al., 2019).
