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. : Published as part of Majka, Christopher, Webster, Reginald & Cline, Andrew, 2008, New records of Nitidulidae and Kateretidae (Coleoptera) from New Brunswick, Canada, pp. 337-356 in ZooKeys 2 (2) on page 346, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.2.23, http://zenodo.org/record/576398 : {"references": ["Melsheimer FE (1846) Descriptions of new species of Coleoptera of the United States.
