Notes

The butterfly is not rare in montane forests at low elevations (Alt. 30 - 450m) and is often found on forest paths or forest edges.
Although tentatively treated as ssp.cresina, the population from S.Vietnam is rather different from other taxa and is likely to be a distinct subspecies. Further taxonocim study is needed.
