The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1000m).
I provisionally treat the populations from Kanchanaburi to Ranong as ssp.maia.
However, the populations from Ranon to Yala are still unclear and have not been compared sufficiently.
The population from Kanchanaburi seems to be a transition to ssp.miniata.
Further taxonomic study is needed.
