| Citation | Description | Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This butterfly occurs in Burma, Thailand, Viet Nam and Laos through the Malay Peninsula to Borneo, Sumatra, Nias Island, Java, Kalimantan and the Philippines (Palawan, Mindanao and Mindoro). This gives the butterfly a large extent of occurrence and as this is a fairly common species across its range, where suitable habitat is still quite plentiful, the area of occupancy must certainly be well in excess of the threshold for threatened species.
