The dark small-branded swift (Pelopidas mathias) or small-branded swift or lesser millet skipper or black-branded swift, is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae. It is found throughout much of south, southeast, and East Asia, and as far as the Philippines. It is also present in tropical Africa and Arabia. This butterfly is considered a pest to rice-growing cultures; newly hatched caterpillars are especially voracious in eating young seedlings.
