Notes

The distribution map of Thauria aliris and lathy
Thauria distribution


The butterfly is not rare in montane dense forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 300 - 1100m).
The sympatricity of both Thauria aliris and Thauria lathy has not been confirmed. Further distributional research is needed.
