Baliochila singularis, the Lannin's buff, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Botswana and Zimbabwe.[2] Its habitat consists of bushveld and Brachystegia woodland.
There are two distinct seasonal forms. The wet-season form (f. martyni) and the dry-season form. Adults have been recorded near a Heteropyxis natalensis tree, where they were imbibing the secretions of membracids that were feeding on the tree.
The larvae feed on algae (cyanobacteria) growing on trees.
