Pelopidas mathias, the dark small-branded swift, small branded swift, lesser millet skipper or black branded swift, is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae. It is found throughout much of south,[1] southeast and East Asia, and as far as the Philippines. It is also present in tropical Africa and Arabia.[2][3]
In 1891, Edward Yerbury Watson described it as:
Male. Upperside olive brown: forewing with two small yellowish semi-transparent spots within end of cell, three before the apex, and in the male three oblique discal spots followed by a dark-bordered slender straight impressed glandular streak: hindwing with one or two very indistinct pale discal spots. Female with five discal spots in the forewing, and four or five in the hindwing. Underside paler ; markings more distinct; hindwing also with a spot at upper end of the cell. Expanse 1.6 inch.[4](Moore)[5]
P. mathias is considered a pest to rice-growing cultures, although it is not as damaging to rice plants as Parnara guttata. Newly hatched caterpillars are especially voracious in eating young seedlings. They also use silken threads to roll up and stitch together partially eaten leaves for more efficient consumption.[6]

日本周辺では亜種 P. m. oberthueri が本州（越冬は関東沿岸部・中部地方以南の暖地）から南西諸島にかけて分布する[1]。日本各地で普通に見られるが、個体数はイチモンジセセリほど多くない[2]。草地や公園、田畑といった平地から中山部にかけての開けた場所や疎林に多い。
成虫の前翅長は 13-21mm。イチモンジセセリと比べて翅が縦に長い。また後翅裏の模様が白点4箇所である（イチモンジセセリは横に長い白点）ところで区別が可能。
年3-4回、6-11月頃に発生する。関東地方では秋に多く発生する[1]。幼虫で越冬する。本種を含むセセリチョウ類の特徴として飛翔が素早い。
幼虫の食草はイネやススキといったイネ科の植物や、タケ科やカヤツリグサ科の植物である[1]。
