A local species, mainly on moorland. Adults are readily disturbed during the day and later come to light.
Note it is very similar to E. truncicolella but has a white spot on the thorax that that species lacks. Also, in E. truncicolella the costal end of the postmedian line is angled towards the wing base, while in E. murana it is more angled towards the apex.
