| Citation | Description | Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This butterfly is widely distributed through South East Asia, from India and Sri Lanka through Thailand (Pinratana 1981), peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo (Seki et al. 1991), the Philippines (Balabac, Palawan, Calamian group) (Treadaway 1995) and Sulawesi (Vane-wright and De Jong 2003). There are also some instances of this species in China, for example in the Fusui Rare Animal Nature Reserve, south-western Guangxi. This gives the species a very large extent of occurrence (EOO) and the area of occupancy (AOO) is also likely to be fairly large. The species does not occur above 760 m elevation.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This is a shade-loving butterfly inhabiting primary and secondary rainforest. It is most commonly encountered along creeks or in gullies within the forest. Adults generally keep to the undergrowth, where they may remain inactive for long periods (Igarashi and Fukuda 2000). It is reported to rely on the ant species Anoplolepis gracilipes (Megens et al. 2004) and larvae feed on Albizia falcate plants. The species is sexually dimorphic.
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): This species is not under any major threat. However, Cleary et al. (2004) and Hirowatari et al. (2007) found that this species did not seem to persist in forest areas that had been subjected to burning.
