This yellow butterfly, including its variations, has a wide distribution in the tropics and Pacific islands, from India to japan, and Samoa to Australia. It was not previously recorded from Guam. We reared it from the foliage of Pithecolobium dulce, and not from any other leguminous plant, although in other countries, its larvae feed on various legumes. The butterflies were common everywhere.
