The butterfly is locally common in montane forest at moderate to high elevations (Alt. 1200m - 1800m). In N.Thailand it was common in 1980's, but it is uncommon now.
Yokochi,2011 synonymized all taxa of nara to nominotypical subspecies.
However, It is possible there are at least two strains mixed in nara.
These are nara strain: nara - (anyte ?) - kalawrica and shania strain: shania and nagaensis.
I suspect these two are different species.
I tentatively treat them as subspecies of nara and follow the conventional classification, but the classification of nara needs to be reviewed in the future, including DNA analysis.
