Notes

The butterfly is uncommon in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 800m).
This species can only be distinguished by examination of the male genitalia. The records of Zographetus doxus from N.Vietnam are ambiguous. I tentatively treat them as this taxon. Further taxonomic study is needed.
