Distribution. This species is widely distributed in the Neotropics, from Antilles to Argentina. It is known from Martinique, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil and Argentina (Chagas-Jr 2003). The new record from Colombia, in the Amazonian Región, confirms its cis-Andine distribution in low areas of South America.

Altitudinal range. 83 to 200 m.

Remarks. Scolopocryptops miersii was described by Newport (1845) and transferred to Dinocryptops Crabill, 1953 by Crabill (1953). Chagas-Jr (2008) in a phylogenetic analysis of Scolopocryptopinae showed that Dinocryptops is a paraphyletic genus, and that D. miersii belongs to Scolopocryptops. More recently, Edgecombe et al. (2012), by applying combined morphological and molecular phylogenetic data, fixed the taxonomic status of the species and corroborated the morphological data presented by Chagas-Jr (2008).
