Notes

The butterfly is uncommon. The larva was found in secondary forests in parks at low elevations.
Some of the previous records from Thailand are rather doubtful. The species of this genus are so similar that identification by male genitalia is required. Therefore, records that do not examine the male genitalia cannot be adopted. In addition, although there are many field photos, most are either misidentified or unidentifiable and cannot be used as records.
