Found in eastern Kenya where its habitat consists primarily of savannah, at an altitude of about 500 meters. The forewings of P. kazuri tend to be between 2.1 and 2.2 mm long; in appearance they are golden ochreous with white markings consisting of a short basal streak; two transverse, sharply angulated fasciae; and two costal and one dorsal strigulae. The hindwings are pale beige with a whitish golden fringe. Adults are on wing in mid-April. P. kazuri is very similar to related species P. encaeria and P. lantanae. It can only be distinguished from the former by the coloration of the thorax and genital construction: whereas in P. encaeria, the thorax is golden ochreous throughout, P. kazuri has white lateral sides. P. kazuri also has flap-like ventral projections of the valva to differentiate it from P. encaeria. EtymologyThe specific epithet means "small and beautiful" in Swahili. Sources
