Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This butterfly is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, including Peleng Island. The assessors have recorded this butterfly from Kanan in Central Sulawesi and there are also records from the Minahassa Peninsula and the Banggai Archipelago (Vane-Wright and De Jong 2003). Based on these records the extent of occurrence is not small and must be greater than the threshold 20,000 km2 for threatened species under criterion B. It is not an uncommon species with a large amount of pristine habitat remaining and so the area of occupancy probably also exceeds the threshold 2,000 km2 for threatened species.
