The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 400 - 1200m) and is crepuscular. Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The distribution of the subspecies temporarily follows Kimura et al.,2011. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
