The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low elevations (Alt. 10 - 350m). Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Page & Treadaway,2014 considered the type locality of arycles as Annam, Cochinchina or Cambodia. I agree with their treatment, considering the pattern of red markings on the UnH in the original description as the decisive basis.

The difference between ssp.arycles and ssp.rama.
arycles UnH, Trat, Thailand.	rama UnH, Yala, Thailand.
