Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 700m).
Some authors treated the populations of peninsular Thailand as ssp.usira. However, I could not find any differences between the continental and peninsular populations. Thus, I tentatively treat all populations in Thailand as the nominotypical subspecies.
The population from Narathiwat could be ssp.usira. Confirmation by specimens is needed.
