Notes

Only one record of the species was known from Thailand (1♂, 13.Jul.1973, Narathiwat. A.Samruadkit) for 49 years. It was rediscovered in 2022 by Antonio Giudici from Narathiwat province.
The butterfly seems to be quite localized, occurring in montane forests at low elevations. Further distributional research is needed.
