Notes

New to Thailand.
The butterfly was discovered on 23.Aug.2023 by Antonio Giudici in Betong district, Yala. One male was subsequently captured at the same location. Both of these males flew into a light trap after sunset. The reason why there have been few records so far may be due to its habit of being active after sunset. It may be that this species is completely nocturnal. Further research is needed.
