The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 550m) and frequently comes to rotten fruits that have fallen to the ground.
There is a female specimen from 'Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai' in Sukkit collection, but it is considered an incorrect data. Pinratana,1983 recorded it from 'Chanthaburi', however, it is also doubtful. Therefore I treat these as a reference record until a reliable specimen is rediscovered.
