The butterfly is not rare in montane forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 300 - 1600m). Males are frequently territorial on trees at hilltops.
Tsukada (1991) described ssp.shiamensis based on the specimens from N. Thailand and included Ranong specimens as paratypes. However, this taxon is a synonym of the nominotypical subspecies, and the Ranong paratypes are considered to be ssp.chersonesia.
