The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low elevations (Alt. 30 - 150m).
S.Sophonviwatkul, C.Sunthornwiphat & T.Laola (2023) recoeded this taxon from Chumphon, in the northern part of peninsular Thailand. I tentatively treat it as ssp.tounguva, but a comparison of the upper side of the specimen is needed.
