The butterfly is locally common in semi-dried forests and grasslands at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 250 - 1100m).
Uémura,2022 treated the taxon bara as a subspecies of avantha. The populations from Thailand and Laos, previously thought to be lisandra bara, were then treated as the nominotypical subspecies.
