Notes
The butterfly is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (150–1,200 m a.s.l.).
Both sexes visit flowers.
Males are occasionally observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles,
and are territorial on undergrowth at forest edges in the early morning before dawn and in the evening from 16:30 until sunset.
