The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at moderate elevations (Alt. 700 - 1400m). They often fly out from bushes along the trail and rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread.
I suspect that the specimens from S.Laos, Saravan in Masui & Uehara (1996) and Thateng in Osada, Uémura & Uehara (1999) could be Celaenorrhinus victor based on their appearance. Examination of the male genitalia is required.
