Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 10 - 600m).
According to the original description, the type locality of malayana is 'Deli, Sumatra', with Penang, [W.Malaysia] listed as the other locality. The taxon dinnaga is described from West-Sumatra in the same paper, and we now consider only this dinnaga to occur in Sumatra. Further taxonomic considerations, including a close examination of type specimens of malayana, are needed.
