Larva unknown. 
Mr. Henry Edwards says of this species: “ It is found in rather high regions. * 
I have seen it most abundant at Virginia City, where it flies in the mountain 
canons, as liutulus does in those of the valley. I have also taken it on the coast 
range in Aajn County, and near Mt. Diable, and have some beautiful specimens 
vhicli I found at the Dalles, Oregon. I did not see it in Vancouver. It may be 
regarded as one of our rarities.” 
Daunus has been brought from Southern Utah and Arizona by Lieutenant 
Wheeler’s expeditions, and from Montana by those of Dr. Hayden. According 
to Mr. Hidings, the specimen described by him was taken in Kansas.
