H. selina is endemic to Sulawesi.[1] It was first found in the Central Region and was known until 1985 from only the single holotype specimen. It has since been found in the Southern Region[1] and also in the Dumoga-Bone National Park, Northern Sulawesi, during the Royal Entomological Society's 1985 expedition Project Wallace[2]
