The butterfly is locally common in montane forest at low to moderate elevation (alt.200m - 1300m).
Smiles,1982 synonymized jamblichus with nigroapicalis.
However, the subspecies differs considerably from ssp.nigroapicalis by the shape of the forewings, the cell on the UpF is always bright, and the submarginal black band surround white markings on the UpH is markedly reduced..
For this reason, I treat it as an independent subspecies following Kimura et al.,2016.
The populations from western part of Chiang Mai province to Tak province, it seems transition zone with ssp.nigrobasalis, and intermediate individuals occur frequently.
Further taxonomic study is needed.
