The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at moderate elevations (Alt. 600 - 1000m).
Saito & Seki (2003) synonymised Poritia phama geta with Poritia hewitsoni tavoyana. However, females of the populations from several areas of Mae Hong Son and W. Chiang Mai differ from ssp.tavoyana. These populations are considered to be taxon geta and are allopatric with ssp.tavoyana. Thus, I provisionally treat geta as a distinct subspecies here. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
