The butterfly is locally not uncommon in forests at low to moderate altitudes (180-1,200 m) and is crepuscular. Males are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
The distribution of the subspecies temporarily follows Kimura et al. (2011). Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
