Habitat preference

Most records are from lowland localities, including disturbed forest and cultivated areas, but one specimen has been taken at 1930m on G. Kinabalu.

Biology

Kuroko & Lewvanich (1993) illustrated an adult of this species as dulcissima, but did not illustrate the larva.

The host-plant was Durio (Bombacaceae), the larva feeding on foliage.
