North America: USA: Reported from Texas in the original description of Cermatia linceci by Wood (1867: 42)[1], the original description of Scutigera dorothea Chamberlin, 1943 and of Scutigera phana Chamberlin, 1943, the latter two synonymized with Scutigera linceci by Würmli (1973: 78, 79)[2]. Reported from Arizona in the original description of Scutigera homa Chamberlin, 1942, synonymized with S. linceci by Würmli (1973: 78, 79). Mexico: Reported as Scutigera mexicana from Oaxaca by Saussure & Humbert (1872: 113)[3], a record repeated by Pocock (1895: 2)[4] under S. linceci; as Scutigera cacahuamilpensis from Guerrero state by Herrera (1892)[5], later synonimized to Dendrothereua linceci by Rodríguez-López et al. (2015: 194)[6]; as Scutigera linceci from Guerrero state by Pocock (1895: 2), and from Jalisco state by Edgecombe & Cupul-Magaña (2008: 18)[7]. Guatemala: Reported as S. linceci by Pocock (1895: 2), followed by Chamberlin (1922: 2)[8]. El Salvador: Reported as S. linceci by Kraus (1954: 305-307)[9]. Honduras: Reported as "?S. linceci" from one immature specimen intercepted in New Zealand in a shipment of orchids from Honduras, without specific port of origin, by Keall (1980: 129)[10]. The contry record was subsequently mentioned by Stoev (2002: 81)[11] (source clarified on 27.vii.2022, P. Stoev to C. Martínez, in litteris), Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe (2013: 42)[12], and Flores-Urtiaga et al. (2015: 9)[13]. Nicaragua: Reported from the city of Granada as Scutigera occidentalis by Meinert (1886: 106)[14], a record repeated by Pocock (1895: 2) as part of the synonymy of S. linceci, and followed by Chamberlin (1922: 2). Granada was not agregated into Nicaragua in the distribution list by Stoev (2002: 81)[11] and appeared further away in the alphabetical country list by Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe (2013: 42)[12] and Flores-Urtiaga et al. (2015: 9)[13], giving the false impression of it corresponding to the Caribbean island of Grenada. Flores-Urtiaga et al. (2015) additionally missed the connection between S. occidentalis and Granada city, the locality does not appear in their map, and they regarded D. linceci as having no specific collecting locality in Nicaragua. Costa Rica: Reported as S. linceci by Chamberlin (1922: 1) and as S. nubila also by Chamberlin (1922: 1, 9), the latter synonymized to S. linceci by Kraus (1954: 305, 306). Reported as Dendrothereua arborum in the original description by Verhoeff (1944: 195)[15], a synonym of S. linceci by Würmli (1973: 79). Further localities were added by Würmli (1973: 76). Caribbean: Reported as S. linceci from Cuba by Würmli & Negrea (1977: 79)[16] and again by Stoev (2002: 81); as Dendrothereua linceci from Dominican Republic by Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe (2013: 39), as S. linceci from USVI: Saint John by Muchmore (1993: 33)[17], and as D. linceci from Martinique by Iorio & Coulis (2020: 22)[18].
Remarks: Kraus (1954: 306) wrote "Verbreitung: Vom Süden der USA (Texas) bis Nicaragua" and therefore missed Costa Rica. Stoev (2002: 81) wrote "General distribution: South USA (Texas, Arizona), Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Granada [sic!], Costa Rica (Turrialba), Panama, Cuba (Sierra de la Gran Piedra)." Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe (2013: 42) wrote "Previously known distribution. Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, USA, Granada [sic!], Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama (Edgecombe & Cupul-Magaña, 2008)." However, the localitities are not summarized in Edgecombe & Cupul-Magaña (2008) and some are not mentioned at all, like Granada, Honduras, and Panama. Flores-Urtiaga et al. (2015: 9) wrote "Distribución geográfica: Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Estados Unidos, Granada [sic!], Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá y República Dominicana (Würmli, 1973; Würmli & Negrea, 1977; Edgecombe & Cupul-Magaña, 2008; Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe, 2013). The mention of Granada in a country list is a mistake (see above). Like Granada, Panama comes from Stoev (2002) and the country mention was later repeated by Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe (2013) and Flores-Urtiaga et al. (2015) but is not supported by known sources and is consequently not mapped. The record from Panama is most likely a misinterpretation by Stoev (2002) of Würmli (1973: 79), where the latter author cites the type locality of Pselliodes nigrovittata and not a country record for Scutigera linceci.
Würmli (1973: 78) considered Scutigera tancitarona Chamberlin, 1942 (Mexico), Scutigera chichivaca Chamberlin, 1944 (Guatemala), Scutigera buda Chamberlin, 1944 (Texas) and Scutigera poicila Chamberlin, 1944 (Mexico) potential synonyms Scutigera linceci but did not formally propose the synonymy and therefore those records are not integrated into the list above.

Realm: Terrestrial.
Altitudinal distribution: From 1 to 2280 m a.s.l. (see following references). Between 1100-1200 m a.s.l. (in Cuba, see Würmli & Negrea, 1977: 80[1]). Elevations ranging from 616 m to 2280 m a.s.l. (in Dominican Republic) are explicitly reported by Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe, 2013: 41[2]) but the lowest locality without elevation reported by those authors has coordinates which correspond to an elevation of approximately 160 m a.s.l. (see Bejucalito García in Perez-Gelabert & Edgecombe, 2013: 41, 42[3]). From 1 to 1031 m a.s.l. (in Martinique, see Iorio & Coulis, 2020: 22[4]).
Ecological tolerance: Iorio & Coulis (2020: 22[4]) stated that D. linceci seems to have wide ecological tolerances since it can be found both in a very humid context at high altitudeand in a dry context almost at the sea level.
Microhabitat: Under stones, in hollow logs, and especially about unused fire-places (Wood, 1867: 43[5]). Under logs and stones in damp places (Pocock, 1895: 2)[6]. Under stones, among shrubs (Würmli & Negrea, 1977: 80[1]).

Heterotroph. Predator.
According to Iorio & Coulis (2020: 22[1]) the reproductive behavior of D. linceci has not been studied.
