Notes

The butterfly is uncommon in montane forests at low elevations (Alt. 150 - 450m). Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
In the Ranong province, P.Thailand, both the nominotypical subspecies and ssp.sundae have been confirmed. As far as we know, the population of Chanthaburi, S.E.Thailand is ssp.sundae, but de Jong & Treadaway,1992 recorded ssp.agni. Although the male genitalia of the continental populations is completely identical to that of ssp.agni, it is possible that these two taxa are different species based on their distribution. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
