The butterfly is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 300 - 800m) 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.
