The species is widely distributed across Thailand with four intraspecific colour variations (Jiaranaisakul et. al. , 2023). Pometia pinnata Forst. ( Sapindaceae ) was documented as a host plant ( Jiaranaisakul & Constant, 2021 ); we also found specimens feeding on Ficus cf. racemose ( Moraceae ) in Ratchaburi Province (new plant association).
