CANADA: ONTARIO: Algoma Co.: 10 km east of Wawa , 30.VIII.1980, R. Baranowski, (4m, MZLU; 1m, LFC; 1, LFC) ; Lake Superior Provincial Park , 9.IX.1980, R. Baranowski, (3m, MZLU; 5 MZLU; 1m LFC; 1, LFC) .

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).
