The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 900m).
They often rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread like Tagiades.
Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Zhang et al.,2022 treated this taxon as a distinct species on the basis of molecular analysis and morphology.
