Epuraea rufa has been recorded in Canada from Ontario and Québec (McNamara 1991), and in the United States from New Hampshire south to Georgia, west to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota, and in Washington and Oregon (Parsons 1943; Kirejtshuk and Pakaluk 1996; Chandler 2001). The species is found in leaf litter, at sap, in fungi, on tree bark, and on driftwood and was also reared from fallen seeds of sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh., Aceraceae) (Parsons 1943; Price and Young 2006).
