Notes
The butterfly is not uncommon in montane forest at low elevations (Alt.30m - 450m).
I consider the populations from Ranong to Satun, P.Thailand are this taxon as Tsukada,1991 mentioned.
The characteristics are as follows in comparison to ssp.marana;
Male is not remarkable difference but slightly brighter ground color, Female markings on the upperside of both wings are much darker, especially on the UpH.
Further distributional research is needed.
