KNOWN DISTRIBUTION. — It is impossible to precisely define the distribution of this species because of its taxonomic “travails”. It is found on various species and genera of ground beetles, mostly Stenelophus and Acupalpus, in Europe, America, Asia and Africa. For more details on the taxonomy and distribution of this fungus we refer, as usual, to the excellent monograph of Santamaría & Pedersen (2021).
