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 a photo record, but no specimens are available. Thus, it is unclear to which subspecies it belongs. Confirmation by specimen is needed.
