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". In general Jemadia have white or blue marking and hyaline (glass-like) spots. The hindwings are often remarkably small, in the males often with tooth-like projections on the inner-marginal and lower median vein, above them mostly with a deeply concave excision, and between the upper radial and subcostal vein often with an obtuse projection. More rarely, the hindwings are quite round. The middle radial vein is absent, the lower one comes from the lower cell-angle, the upper median vein below it separately.
