Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 10 - 900m) and frequently comes to rotten fruits that have fallen to the ground.
Hitherto, this species is found allopatric with Euthalia recta. The dorsal projection in the middle of uncus tends to reduce in size from north to south.
