Notes

The butterfly is common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1200m). Males are territorial on trees at hilltops and occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
This species is distinguishable from allied species by only examination of male genitalia.
