Jemadia [SEP] parent taxon
Jemadia
Jemadia is a Neotropical genus of firetips in the family Hesperiidae.
A very comprehensive genus, in which it is rather difficult to define the species owing to the extraordinary resemblance among one another. Moreover, there are two series parallel to each other, one of which shows four white dots on the prothorax, the other exhibiting a white transverse streak instead. In order to facilitate the definition we keep to Mabille's division of the groups into "punctati" and "lineati". The "Jemadia" are robust
