Glischrochilus vittatus has been found in Canada from British Columbia to Québec and Nova Scotia (McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States recorded south to California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado in the west and in North Carolina, New Hampshire, Maine, and Wisconsin (Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001; Price and Young 2006). The species is often found under the bark of pines, Pinus spp. (Downie and Arnett 1996). Price and Young (2006) found it associated with red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait., Pinaceae).
