Macken's Skipper or Macken's Dart (''Acleros mackenii'') is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found from the East Cape to KwaZulu-Natal and in Zimbabwe. The wingspan is 27–32 mm for males and 29-33 for females. Adults are on wing year round but are more common in late summer, autumn and winter than in the hotter midsummer months.〔Woodhall, S.
