The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 450 - 1100m).
Inayoshi,2007 reported Charaxes harmodius ssp. from Ranong, P.Thailand. However, it is considered to be a misidentification of this species. Moreover I consider the records of harmodius from Vietnam are likely to be this taxon.
