Notes
The butterfliy is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (450–1,400 m a.s.l.).
Males are territorial on trees or shrubs at forest edges from 14:00 to 15:00.
A female specimen from Prachuap Khiri Khan seems to be ssp.continentalis rather than ssp.unicolor.
I tentatively treat it as this taxon.
However, confirmation by a male specimen is needed.
