Description
Cabera nathaliae is a medium-sized Cabera species. The length of forewing is 12–15 mm (0.47-0.59 in), and is broad and pointed. The hindwing resembles the forewing, but has a shorter point at anal angle. It shares morphological similarities with Cabera limbata from continental Africa, and Cabera toulgoeti from Madagascar. It differs on the basis of well-developed and convex basal and medial lines on both the forewings and hindwings. Additionally, there is absence of prominent white discal spots as compared to C. subalba, both of which occur in the same region. It also shows mottled appearance, as a result of partial albinism, a condition shared with C. humbloti and C. nevillei.
