Cabera nevillei is a species of geometrid moth endemic to Zimbabwe. It belongs to the monophylectic Cabera subalba Group.
Etymology
The species is named after Neville J. Duke.
Description
Cabera nevillei is a medium-sized Cabera species. The length of the forewing is 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in), which is broad and pointed. The hindwing resembles the forewing, except it has a shorter point at the anal angle.
Appearance
Adult specimens exhibit sexual dimorphism. It is mostly observed through their antennae, as the ones in males are bipectinate (comb-like), while the ones in females are filiform (thread-like). The wings are wide and large, with the forewings featuring a straight costa, pointed tip, and the outermost wing edge, or termen, being slightly curved outwards. The wings primarily have a greyish-white coloration, suffused with brown. They have violaceous tinges and fine grey striations.
The forewings are marked with slightly curved basal and medial lines, as well as an oblique postmedial line, all of which are brown. The hindwings also have these lines, however they are less distinct compared to the forewings. On the forewing, the discal spots are small and black, frequently encircled in a white outline.
