As this species has been found within our borders only in the coast 

 region of Cahfornia, its detection at Camp Grant, Ai-iz., has widely extended 

 its known distribution. It is likely that it inhabits the intermediate region in 

 greater or less numbers. At the point where it was found, it is by no means 

 rare, as I saw nearly twenty during the four days spent in collecting 

 in this vicinity. They were always observed in the immediate vicinity of the 

 creeks, where only at this late season there remained a few of the bright 

 flowers about which they were wont to hover. Their large size rendered 

 them very conspicuous among the other species, and, as if aware of this, they 

 were much the shyest of all.
