The butteffly is locally common in montane forests at low elevations (Alt. 250 - 450m). Both sexes visit flowers and males often come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
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.
