Halpe sikkima, also known as the Sikkim ace, is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae, found in India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Its name comes from its type locality, the Indian state of Sikkim. It prefers montane forests at low elevations.[1] Like other skippers, males can often be found at puddles drinking water.
