Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 20 - 700m). Males are territorial on trees about 2 to 3m high at forest edges and are very cautious.
This taxon and Lasippa tiga siaka are found sympatrically in peninsular to S.E.Thailand, furthermore, the male genitalia is different. Valva of camboja is thin and longer than tiga and heliodore. Therefore I consider camboja ia a distinct species as Eliot (1969) and Kimura et al. (2016) pointed out.
