My last attempt at finding Sarangesa motozi turned out to be Abantis pillaana (ragged skipper) . This is Sarangesa motozi (forest elfin) due to the prominent translucent discoid spot on the hind wing. This butterfly belongs to the family Hesperiidae, the family known as skippers which are named for their quick, darting flight habits.

Species in the genus Sarangesa are found primarly in the Afrotropical realm, while a few occur in the Indomalayan realm. This species is native to southern and eastern Africa, where it occurs from the Western Cape and up the eastern side of South Africa, to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, and to Kenya and Ethiopia. This is edge of bushveld / riverine area, open patches among weeds, Hoedspruit, Limpopo.
