Epuraea corticina is a small sap-feeding beetle in the family Nitidulidae, first described by Erichson in 1843. It has been documented in northern North America and is specifically associated with oak wilt fungus mats, where it develops. The species is one of several Epuraea beetles linked to fungal diseases of hardwood trees.
