The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 450 - 1100m). Males are territorial on shrubs or undergrowth at forest edges or in open areas within forests from 11:30 - 13:00.
The record from Cambodia in Chartier & Kosterin,2022 is based on a photo of the underside. It may be the same as the S.E.Thailand population. I tentatively treat it as this taxon, confirmation by specimens is needed.
