The butterfly is locally common in montane forest at high elevations (Alt.1600m - 2200m) and seems single generation in a year.
A male specimen was caught in Xieng Khouang, Laos by Mr.Hiroaki Onodera and is the first record from Laos.
It seems to belong to this subspecies.
And in Saito & Inayoshi,2018, the specimen illustrated as Celastrina hersilia evansi is misidentification of close species Celastrina sugitanii lenzeni.
