The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 10 - 550m).
The populations in the continental region have greyish ground colour and more conspicuous markings on the underside of both wings, as Kimura et al. (2014) pointed out. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
