Notes
The butterfly is common in secondary and montane forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt.200m - 1300m).
Males are territorial on shrubs or trees.
S.Sophonviwatkul, C.Sunthornwiphat & T.Laola recorded ssp.evansi from Phetchaburi.
However, this record is uncertain because it is based on photos taken in nature with indistinct features.
It will be pending confirmation with a specimen.
