The butterfly is common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 150 - 1000m). It is often found in sunny places in forests or forest edges, but it prefers to stay inside the forests more than other closely related species.
Küppers & Janikorn (2020) recorded this taxon from Phang Nga. However, the figured photos are from Nakhon Nayok and a misidentification of Pantoporia hordonia.
