Notes
The butterfly is common in montane and secondary forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt.10m - 500m) and is often found on the forest edge and forest paths.
The populations from Malaysia and P.Thailand are very variable as Eliot,1992 and Kimura et al.,2016 pointed out. Further taxonomic study is needed.
