Epuraea truncatella has been recorded in Canada from British Columbia and the Yukon and Northwest Territories, east to Québec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador ( McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States in Alaska California, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico, east to Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Maine ( Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001). The species is found on the bark of recently dead pines ( Pinus pp.) ( Price and Young 2006). In Nova Scotia it was found at sap on trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx. , Salicaceae ), and under bark of fallen white pine ( Pinus strobus L., Pinaceae ) ( Majka and Cline 2006).
