The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 350 - 1100m). Males are territorial on trees.
This taxon has highly individual and seasonal variation. Occasionally, individuals without white scales on the UnH can be observed. Further taxonomic study is needed.
