Notes

The butterfly is locally common in secondary and montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 100m) and is often found at forest edges and grasslands. Both sexes visit flowers.
The populations from Ranong to Surat Thani appear to be intermediate between ssp.jama and ssp.olivascens.
