Documented from Colorado Springs area, Colorado, USA, based on bioblitz records. The broader geographic range is insufficiently documented.
Seasonality
have been observed in June, based on a single record from the Blodgett Peak Bioblitz (June 16-17, 2017).

As a member of Asilidae, likely functions as a aerial of other insects, though this inference is based on -level characteristics rather than direct observation of this .
More Details
Data scarcity
This has minimal documented occurrence records. The single iNaturalist observation and bioblitz mention represent the primary accessible documentation. No dedicated species-level studies have been identified.
Taxonomic context
The Cyrtopogon contains approximately 50 North American , many of which are poorly known and difficult to identify without specimen examination. C. chagnoni is among the less frequently encountered species in this genus.
