Notes
The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 400 - 900m) and is frequently found at hilltops.
Males are territorial on trees and often rest on the underside of leaves.
The population in Phetchaburi, northern peninsular Thailand, is known from a photo record, but no specimens are available.
Thus it is unclear to which subspecies it belongs.
Confirmation by specimen is needed.
