Population: This butterfly is generally a common species and is occasionally abundant.
Range: This species is endemic to the Sulawesi and Maluku regions of Indonesia. Although endemic, this butterfly inhabits a range of habitats and so it is likely that both the extent of occurrence and the area of occupancy are in excess of 20,000 and 2,000 km² respectively.
