Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This butterfly is distributed throughout much of Southeast Asia, from Burma, Viet Nam and peninsular Thailand/Malaysia to Sumatra, Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands as far east as Sumbawa, Indonesia. The species is apparently absent from Borneo. Nonetheless, this species has a large extent of occurrence (EOO) and as it is common and widespread across this EOO, the area of occupancy (AOO) must also be fairly large.
