The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 450 - 800m).
Both sexes visit flowers, and males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The records of Cambodia are likely to be this taxon based on its distribution.
Further taxonomic study is needed.
