The butterfly is locally common in montane grassland at moderate elevations (Alt. 800 - 1200m).
Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
In general, taxon diporides in India has a wide black marginal band on the UpF.
However, populations in the Indo-China region have a much narrower black marginal band, as Kimura et al. (2014) pointed out.
I provisionally treat these as ssp.diporides, further taxonomic study is needed.
