The butterfly is locally uncommon in montane dense forest mixed with bamboo at moderate elevations (Alt. 400m - 900m).
Photo records in Phetchabun prov. were taken by Mr.Supat Sophonviwatkul and Mr.Antonio Giudici.
However due to the lack of specimen, it was not possible to identify which subspecies.
I suppose it is likely to be this subspecies, but we need to confirm with specimens in the future.
