Notes

All previous records of Pyroneura flavia fruhstorferi from Thailand are considered to be misidentifications of other taxa. I have not examined the genitalia due to the loss of the abdomen, but I believe that the specimen shown above belongs to this species.
The butterfly is rare in montane forests at low elevations.
