Special Significance of the Species

Copablepharon grandis is associated with sparsely vegetated sandy habitats, a regionally rare habitat in the southern Canadian prairies. Copablepharon moths are of interest to entomologists and taxonomists because of their rarity and association with spatially isolated dune habitats. There is no information that suggests that C. grandis has, or had, an important cultural or economic role for First Nations.
