Precis andremiaja is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. 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.
