Notes

The butterfly is rare in montane forests at low elevations.
A photo was taken in nature by an anonymous photographer at Sa Kaeo, S.E.Thailand in May 2019. The photo is rather unclear, but it is definitely Catapaecilma evansi. Based on its distribution, it is most likely to be this taxon. Confirmation by specimens is needed.
