The butterfly is rare in montane forests at moderate elevations (Alt. 1000 - 1300m).
The population from Chiang Mai has rather small orange tornal spots on the UnH. Further taxonomic study is needed.
Kimura et al.,2014 recorded this species from Than To WF., Yala. However, no specimens exist and it is highly doubtful. It is therefore not treated as an official record.
