Notes

The butterfliy is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 450 - 1200m). Males are territorial on shrubs at forest edges.
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.
