Precis andremiaja is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found on Madagascar.[2] The habitat consists of forest margins and anthropogenic environments. J. andremiaja is said by Mr. Cowan to be "common in houses on warm days".[3]
The word "andremiaja" seems to be etymologically a malagasy word. The root -miaja means to honor, to respect while andre-sequence, unknown in malagasy, can be a strain of Andria- which would give malagasy Andriamiaja, a fairly common surname.
