Description
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); Saint John Co.: Saint John, 3.VII.1900 -07, W. McIntosh, (1, NBM); York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395°N, 66.7391°W, 29.VIII.2007, mixed forest, in pile of corncobs and cornhusks, (10, NBM, RWC).
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.
