The female specimen shown above is the first discovery in Thailand. The butterfly is uncommon in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 20 - 600m).
Wei et al. (2017:119) showed the distribution of ssp.darina as south of Trang in Fig. 32, but this is incorrect and it is distributed from south of Ranong.
