The butterfly is not rare locally in citrus plantations or gardens at low to moderate elevations.
The identification and distribution of nominotypical subspecies and ssp.tavoyanus in Thailand is still unclear.
I follow Kimura et al.(2014) provisionally, however the populations from S.E.Thailand and Phetchaburi, P.Thailand might be ssp.tavoyanus.
Further taxonomic study with a large number of specimens from various places is needed.
