This species was recently found in Thailand. The butterfly is locally not rare in secondary coastal forests.
It was originally distributed from Bali and the Lesser Sunda Islands to Australia. However, it has been successively discovered in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand in recent years. Although it is clear that it is an introduced species, it is unknown whether its spread is natural or due to human activity. The identity of this population cannot be determined due to a lack of specimens. It is expected to be found in many places in the future, especially in coastal areas. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
