Holarctic in distribution,
P. empetricola
is known in North America from AK, NT and YT (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993). It occurs on the mainland usually among leaves, under
Alnus
and
Salix
,
and on islands usually on open ground, with rich meadow vegetation (Lindroth 1966). This species apparently is parthenogenetic, and probably polyploid (Lindroth 1966).
