E. granulatus has only been found in northern Tasmania in the region on the western side of the Dazzler Range. While its distribution may be extended slightly in a southward and westward direction by further collections it is considered that this species occupies a small geographical area.Habitat
The type locality E. granulatus consists of a creek approximately 2-3 m wide flowing slowly through a wet sclerophyll forest (which is dominated by Eucalyptus spp. and contains numerous ferns along the bank). This species occupies type 2 burrows in flood plains or in the bank of the creek, upstream from the mouth.References
