Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 350 - 1300m). Males are territorial on trees at hilltops and frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The white patch on the upperside of the male is very variable. Some specimens lack it.
