Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forest at low elevations (alt.200m - 450m) and often rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread.
Godfrey,1930 recorded it from Chiang Rai and Phrae, N.Thailand, however are dubious. Further distributional research in northern Thailand is needed. The specimen from Phetchaburi to Prachuap Khiri Khan seems intermediate between ssp.cocles and ssp.earli, it seems transition zone of both subspecies.
Corbet,1941 assumed the type locality of cocles as Pulau Salang [Phuket], Siam. If so, the population in Phuket is most likely to be the same subspecies as Malay Peninsula subspecies earli, then ssp.earli should be the synonym of cocles, and the continental populations should be given an alias. Further taxonomic study is needed.
