The butterfly is uncommon in lowland montane forests.
The figured specimens in Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) seem to be two mixed taxa. The left male seems the nominotypical subspecies from W. Malaysia. And the right 'Female' [recte Male] is from Khlong Naka, Ranong. The nominotypical subspecies has not been found from Thailand until now. However, the record from Betong, Yala might be ssp.domitia. Unfortunately, it was only a photo in nature and cannot be conclusively dentified. We need specimens for confirmation.
