Records
According to Kielland (1990, p. 88), this butterfly occurs in arid thorn-bush, at 1400 – 1900 m, in northern Tanzania (with an isolated record from Mbeya). Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna on the basis of ten male and three female specimens in OUMNH collected by Rogers in 1905 and 1906 at Taveta, c. 2500 ft (see also Butler 1901, p. 23), and, in BMNH, three males from West Kilimanjaro collected by Cooper at 4500 – 5000 ft., two males from Taveta (ex Rogers), and a further example from Taveta (sex uncertain). Not encountered by Liseki (2009) at 2000 m or above. More widely, according to Ackery et al. (1995, p. 315), this monotypic species ranges from Somalia southwards to Uganda and the Rwanda /DRC border.
