The butterfly is locally not rare in secondary forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 300 - 1200m). Both sexes visit flowers.
Devyatkin & Monastyrskii (2003:130) recorded this taxon from S.Vietnam and noted that it is closer to this taxon than ssp.hulsei. Further taxonomic and distributional study is needed.
