Hagnagora jamaicensis is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It is found on Jamaica.
In contrast to the other taxa in the mortipax clade, this species displays a very narrow, cream-white transversal band on the forewings. The striation on the underside of the hindwing is reduced in comparison to Hagnagora mortipax and Hagnagora acothysta.[1]
