General distribution. Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina (Moreira et al. 2011b).
Habitat. Heterocorixa brasiliensis seems to prefer shallow lentic habitats with sandy bottom and with dense vegetation in Iberá (Bachmann 1981). This species was found in association with Leersia hexandra and Cabomba caroliniana (Poi de Neiff 1984, 1993, 2003). It has also been taken at lights (Bachmann 1981). During the present study, H. brasiliensis was collected from the margins with dense floating, emergent and submerged vegetation (mainly Azolla filiculoides, Pontederia azurea, P. crassipes, Hydrocleys nymphoides (Willd) Buchenau, Nymphoides indica and Salvinia biloba) in lentic habitats (Iberá Lagoon, artificial ponds, marshes, marshlands and ditches), in unshaded areas. Additional specimens of this species were taken at lights at San Ignacio Ranger Station, San Nicolás Ranger Station, and Laguna Iberá Ranger Station.
Remarks. Heterocorixa brasiliensis was first recorded from INR by Bachmann (1979) and from the Galarza Lagoon by Poi de Neiff (1984 ).
