Distribution, habitat, and remarks
This is a poorly understood species that occurs in South American lowland forest. It has been recorded from French Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil (AM, MT).
New material examined

Female
We associate females from French Guiana (Figs 13, 36), Peru, and Bolivia with this species. They have the same ventral wing pattern, a similar geographic range, and limited COI DNA sequences are the same.
COI DNA sequence
The sequence of a female from French Guiana (CF-LYC-039) is the same as (0% divergence) that of the male paratype from Peru (CF-LYC-020). This female is the first record of Oenomaus magnus from French Guiana.
