The butterfly is rare in montane forests at low elevations.
Pongsak Traijandeang took a photo in nature on 1 May 2019 in Sa Kaeo, S.E. Thailand. Based on its distribution and the markings and colouration on its underside, it is likely to belong to this taxon.
Furthermore, the specimen from Laos recorded by Uehara & Masui (2024) as ssp.suparuckae appears to be more closely related to the nominotypical subspecies. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
