The first discovery in Thailand was the specimen from Chiang Mai province shown above.
The butterfly is uncommon in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 350 - 900m). They often rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread like Tagiades. Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
