Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 700m). It is often seen on forest paths and forest edges, and settles on shrubs or undergrowth. It moves over leaves restlessly and rests on the underside of leaves. Further distributional research is needed.
