Celaenorrhinus galenus, also known as the common orange sprite, is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, from Cameroon to Ethiopia and to Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.[2] The habitat consists of forests.
Adults of both sexes feed from flowers growing low down along forest paths, including those of Ipomoea palmata. They are on wing from September onwards, becoming commoner in late autumn. There are two generations per year.
The larvae feed on Clerodendrum paniculatum, Hypoestes and Justicia species.
