Its only species, Copivaleria grotei, or Grote's sallow, was first described by Herbert Knowles Morrison in 1874. It is found in eastern North America, including Ontario, Tennessee, New York and Maryland.
The wingspan is about 35 mm. Adults are on wing from April to May. The larvae feed on Fraxinus species. Wikipedia →

It is the 442nd most-seen of the 1624 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March

Of the 4 cities where we can rate Psaphida grotei sightings, Austin has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Edmonton (Canada, under 5%) and Dallas (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Psaphida grotei is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (66 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
