Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 800m). Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The population in Phetchaburi, northern peninsular Thailand, is only known from photo records, but no specimens are available. Thus, it is unclear to which subspecies it belongs. Confirmation by specimen is needed.
