Due to salmon-pink color and epi-center of its distribution - which is believed to be of Arabia- , this small butterfly of low country dry zone got that name Small Salmon Arab. It is rather uncommon butterfly of scrublands and open areas. Unlike most other butterflies it often flies during hot hours of the day. Female of this species sometime has white form instead of usual salmon color. Larva of Small Salmon Arab feeds on plants of Salvadora persica (මලිත්තන් /Mustard Tree) and Azima tetracantha of Salvadoraceae family.
