The Common Tit has been found in a variety of localities in Singapore, from the mangrove-type environment of Sg Buloh Nature Park, to the forested Central Catchment and even in downtown Singapore along traffic congested Victoria Street !  At the last location, the caterpillars of the species were found feeding on the roadside ornamental plant Ixora javanica (Javanese Ixora) in the heart of town.  This is probably a new record of the host plant for this species.  The caterpillars collected were bred to adulthood.

The upperside of the male is deep purple blue with a large circular brand on the forewing disc.  The female is dull grey-brown and black marginal spots on the greyish white tornal area of the hindwing.  The undersides of both sexes are a pale greenish grey with a cell-end bar and a narrow reddish brown post discal line on each wing.  There is an orange-crowned black spot and a smaller one on the hindwings.
