Epuraea rufida ( Melsheimer, 1846)

Carleton Co.: Jackson Falls, Bell Forest , 46.2208°N, 67.7211°W, 31.III.2005, R.P. Webster, rich Appalachian hardwood forest, under bark of dead sugar maple, (9, NBM, RWC) GoogleMaps ; Saint John Co.: Saint John , 3.VII.1900 -07, W.

Epuraea rufida has been recorded in Canada from Ontario, Québec, and Nova Scotia ( McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States from Maine south to South Carolina, west to Louisiana, and Wisconsin ( Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001; Price and Young 2006). The species has been recorded under bark of oak ( Quercus sp.) and on the flowers of linden ( Tilia sp., Tiliaceae ) ( Parsons 1943). The specimen from Saint John collected by W. McIntosh was determined as E. rufida by W.H. Harrington. The specimen is now broken and indeterminate.
