Classification

Class
Insecta

Jemadia is a Neotropical genus of firetips in the family Hesperiidae. A genus of robust butterflies where it can be difficult to distinguish between the various species due to the strong resemblance between members of different lineage. There are two general forms of body markings, one exhibiting four white dots on their prothorax, the other with a white transverse streak instead, according to Mabille's division of them into "punctati" and "lineati".
