Notes

The butterfly is common in montane forests at moderate to high elevations.
The differences between ssp.cama and ssp.camasa are not so notable, and considering the range of variation between the two subspecies, these are likely to be indistinguishable. I tentatively separate the two subspecies here, but further taxonomic study is needed.
