The butteffly is locally common in lowland forests (250–450 m a.s.l.). Both sexes visit flowers. Males are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
The classification of this species and clarissa in the continental taxa has long been confused. Fruhstorfer (1912) in Seitz treated militum, falcata and lioneli as subspecies of clarissa, subsequently Tsukada (1985) considered them as subspecies of atlita. However, the continental militum, falcata and lioneli are in fact clarissa, as Fruhstorfer pointed out.
The identification between atlita and clarissa; In atlita the dark brown spot present in the center of submarginal pale purple mark of space 7 of the unf, while in clarissa, this mark at the inside.
