Notes

New to Vietnam.
The butterfly is very localized but common in habitats. It is found in montane forestd at moderate elevations (Alt. 700 - 1000m). I have seen an individual that I believe to be this species at alt.1500m in Phitsanulok Province. However, I have not included it in my records because it could not be confirmed by specimens. Further distributional research is needed.
