Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1200m).
The previous records from the continental area to peninsular Thailand are thought to be a mixture of several different species. It is necessary to examine the genitalia and check all records. Therefore, records without examination of genitalia cannot be approved. In addition, although there are many field photos, these cannot be used as records. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
