Heterhelus sericans has been recorded in Canada from British Columbia, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland (McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States from Maine south to North Carolina and Tennessee, and west to Kansas and Wisconsin (Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001; Price and Young 2006). In Nova Scotia specimens were principally collected in deciduous forests associated with blossoms of Sambucus racemosa L. (Caprifoliaceae), Diervilla lonicera, P. Mill. (Caprifoliaceae), Prunus virginiana L. (Rosaceae), Crategus spp (Rosaceae), and Cornus alterniflora L.f. (Cornaceae) (Majka and Cline 2006); also reported from Aristolochia sp. (Aristolochiaceae) (A. Cline, pers. obs.).
