Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to high elevations (Alt. 300 - 2000m). Both sexes visit flowers and males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The populations from western to northern Thailand and Myanmar are slightly different. Further taxonomic study is needed.
