The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1000m). Both sexes visit flowers and males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Regarding the type locality of this species, Corbet,1941 assumed it to be in [Siam or Malaya] and Ackery & Vane-Wright,1984 stated it to be in [Canton, China]. However, records from China have only been found in Yunnan, and as far as I know, none have been found in Guangdong. It is therefore more likely to be Siam or Malaya as in Corbet,1941 and is tentatively treated as such here.
