Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1300m). Males are territorial on trees or shrubs at hilltops.
The photo example from Kamphaeng Phet, W.Thailand is most likely to be ssp.artegal. I tentatively treat it as this taxon, but confirmation by many specimens is needed.
