Episernus is a genus of beetles ranging in the Holarctic and of western distribution in North America, including the Palearctic and the Nearctic. Episernus is similar to Ernobius, but the side margin of the pronotum in the anterior part is effaced, and the antennae are 10-segmented. They consume conifers. For males, the body is more slender. In females, the antennae are shorter.
