New to Thailand. The specimens were obtained on 18.Jun.2023 by Antonio Giudici in Narathiwat province.
The butterfly is locally common in grass fields, open land and secondary forests at low elevations. Both sexes visit flowers.
This taxon was known from Johore in W.Malaysia and Singapore and has not previously been found north of the southern part of W.Malaysia. Other Sundaland species found in the Narathiwat area include Poritia plateni and Cirrochroa satellita, which are not found elsewhere in Thailand. It is possible that different biogeographical elements may have entered the area. Further regional research is needed.
