Notes
The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 700m).
Males are territorial on trees.
The population in Chanthaburi, S.E. Thailand has a broader black marginal band on the UpF and the ground color of the upperside is more brilliant blue as Kimura et al. (2014) pointed out.
Further taxonomic study is needed.
