The earliest males of the first generation were collected at the end of March, and some worn females collected during the first half of June probably belonged to the first generation (thus some females collected in June and seemingly belonging to the second

While the first generation was underrepresented in the examined material, intensive surveys in three Swiss localities where the species was found to be abundant consistently revealed the presence of two generations, with several females observed from May to early June, then numerous fresh males and fresh females observed from the end of June to mid-August.

sp. n. has been found from an altitude of approximately 1000m up to slightly above the tree line at around 2300m in the Valais; one isolated record is from an elevation of 2500m (Fig. 5). Foraging females were observed in various habitats, often in clear forests but also in meadows, subalpine grasslands and scree slopes. Patrolling males, probably indicating the location of nesting aggregations, were regularly found on disturbed terrains with little vegetation, such as dry river beds, scree slopes or avalanche corridors (Fig. 8). In these presumed nesting sites, the soil was not particularly sandy, but rather consisting of gravel mixed with sand or clay.
