Distribution: The nominate subspecies is Asian, while ssp. solifera (Butler, 1875) ranges across Africa, south of the Sahara, also in certain areas of the Arabian Peninsula: mostly southern and southwestern coastal territories. In Oman, it is limited to the Dhofar Region. Remarks'. In Dhofar, the species is quite local. It prefers wet and moist habitats, coastal wadis, scarps. Although it is a weak and fluttering flier, sometimes specimens migrate significant distances. The host plants are Leguminosae, Hypericum and Cassia species (Larsen 1991, 2005).
