Cabera is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1825.

These moths are widely distributed in the Palaearctic, Nearctic, Neotropic and Afrotropic regions, and a few in Indo-Australian regions.

[2] In the afrotropical region, 12 species have been recorded, though their placement in Cabera remains uncertain due to their variable physical charcteristics.

[3] Some species were originally classified under Petelia and Gyalomia due to striking similarities.

[4] In alphabetical order:[5] Treitschke, a German lepidopterist, raised the genus in 1825; Cabera refers to Cabeiro, who was the daughter of Proteus ″the prophetic old man of the sea who kept changing his shape to avoid being caught and having to make prophesies″.
