Notes

The butterfly is common in forests at low to moderate elevations (30 - 1,200 m a.s.l.). Males are territorial on trees at hilltops and are occasionally observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
This species is distinguishable from allied species by only examination of male genitalia.
