The butterfly is very common in secondary and montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1200m).
Identification of this species requires examination of the colour and shape of the male androconial brand on the UnF and UpH, or the male genitalia. Most species in the mineus group are very difficult to identify using the underside markings, and the dry season forms are almost impossible to identify.

The differences of the Mycalesis mineus group. (♂ androconial brand). Both characteristics must be confirmed for identification.
	perseus	perseoides	mineus	intermedia	distanti	visala
♂ UnF
	black (small)	dark brown	dark brown (small)	dark brown	brown	pale yellow (long)
♂ UpH
	black (small)	black (long and slender)	salmon pink or dark brown	pale yellow (oval, large)	pale yellow (large) (extends to the base of space 6)	pale yellow (long and slender)
