Celaenorrhinus ficulnea, the velvet flat, is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in south-east Asia. The typical form exhibits the white central spot of the forewing above and beneath straightly cut off by the lower median branch.[2] In some taxonomic schemes (e.g. after Zhang, 2023), the species is instead listed as the sole member of the genus Charmion de Nicéville, 1894.

The larvae feed on Didissandra (Gesneriaceae) species.[3]
