H. distinctus is good separated from all known species of the genus by features adduced in key above. Distribution and biology. Species is known only from the south part of the Russian Far East, namely from the Amur River basin and Primorye Territory. Pupae and larvae were collected in detritus with old grass of an unnamed stream near Mountain-Taiga Station of the FEB RAS in the southern part of Primorye Territory. The water temperature was 9.7–11.6°C, Ph 6.6–6.9 and the depth 5–15 cm at the time of collection in 2013.
