Procampta is a genus of butterflies in the family Hesperiidae. It consists of only one species, Procampta rara, the rare elf, which is found in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda.[2] The habitat consists of drier forests.
Adults mud-puddle, and males are attracted to bird droppings and have been observed drinking the juices of overripe oranges.
