It is found in Uganda, western Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia (Caprivi) and the Transvaal. The habitat consists of well-wooded savanna and riverine vegetation. The wingspan is 25–29 mm.[2] These skippers are brown with light white spots in the middle of both forewings and hindwings. The underside of the wings are a light blue.[2] The flight period is from September to October and January to April, with two broods.[2] Adults mud-puddle, feed from bird droppings and have been recorded feeding from the flowers of trees. The larvae feed on the young foliage of Parinari curatellifolia. They are leaf green with a brown head. The larvae create leaf shelters by taking a whole leaf and folding it in two up the mid-rib, fixing the edges together with closely spaced silk strands.[3] References1. ^Platylesches at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms {{Wikispecies}}{{Commons}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q7202643}}{{Erionotini-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Woodhall |first=Steve |title=Field Guide to Butterflies of South Africa |year=2005 |location=Cape Town, South Africa |publisher=Struik |isbn=978-1-86872-724-7 }} 3. ^Afrotropical Butterflies: Hesperiidae - Subfamily Hesperiinae 2 : Butterflies described in 1937|Erionotini |
