Normally an insect seen much more readily in hill stations (based on my own observations), I was surprised to come across this one on a few occasions during my trekking trips into the forest (probably about 200 plus metres above sea level by looking at the topograhic divisions in Google Maps). My explanations would be that the forest is in the vicinity of the Main Range and this could probably be a "spillover" but according to Corbet, this is a common insect found at all elevations. 01 May 2013 @ 12:51

A true hill insect, Prioneris thestylis malaccana (Fruhstorfer) is found in a more elevated locality. It looks very much like a darker version of the Redspot Sawtooth but minus the red spot.
