Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at moderate elevations (Alt. 600 - 1200m).
Nakamura,2021 recorded Enispe duranius and Enispe euthymius in Bolikhamxai, Laos where they are found sympatrically.
This species is distinguishable from Enispe euthymius by only examination of male genitalia. Therefore, record that have not been examined male genitalia cannot be used. There are several records from Chaiyaphum and Phetchabun in central Thailand. However, the male genitalia have not been examined, thus it is not known whether they are this species or Enispe euthymius. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
