Brazilian
Pretty certain you have a Brazilian Skipper there. Compare to other images already in the Guide, and move yours over there if you are convinced too.

Many thanks for the ID. Curious as to the origin of the name?

No clue
Do not know whence the name comes. They do range south to Argentina, so perhaps the species was first described from Brazil.
