The Purplish Tufted-Skipper (Nisoniades bromias), also known as the Bromias Tufted-Skipper, is a Neotropical butterfly belonging to the Hesperiidae family and the Pyrginae subfamily. This small, robust skipper is primarily identified by its dark, mottled upperside, which often exhibits a faint purplish sheen under specific light, a common trait among the Nisoniades genus. Its distribution extends from Western Mexico through Central America to Panama.
