Metisella meninx
Metisella meninx, the marsh sylph, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is endemic to the wet vleis of highland grassland in northern KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, the northern part of the Free State and the extreme east of the North [West Province]. It has become extinct in many areas close to Johannesburg due to building developments.
The larvae feed on Poaceae marsh grass species, including Leersia hexandra.
