Notes
The butterfly is locally common in lowland forests (Alt. 30 - 450m).
Males are territorial on trees or shrubs.
Some female specimens from Ranong have an obscure orange marking and sparsely blue scales on the UpF.
It seems to be a variation of polymorphic.
The type locality of the original description is "Singapore", but Bridges (1994) gave it as "Perak".
As the paper used for this change is not known, Singapore is used here as the type locality.
