This adventive, Palaearctic species is newly recorded in
Ontario
. In the Old World it is widely distributed across Europe, North Africa, and Asia including eastern and western Siberia (
Smetana 2004
). In
Nova Scotia
H. plana
has been found in sub-cortical environments under the bark of white pine (
Pinus strobus
L.) between December and early May where it is active on sunny days when the sun warms this micro-environment (
Klimaszewski et al. 2007a
).
