Symmerista minaei is a moth in the family Notodontidae first described by Isidro A. Chacón in 2014.

It has been collected at between 2,400 and 2,600 meters in highland cloud forests of the Cordillera de Talamanca in Costa Rica.

The postmedial band is light brown and there is a creamy-white square distal to the reniform spot.

The forewings of the females are dark brown with a beige antemedial band lined at both sides by sinuous dirty dark brown lines.

The species is named for the Ministerio del Ambiente y Energía (MINAE) of the government of Costa Rica in recognition of its 28 years of continuous and widespread support for the survival and conservation of the wild biodiversity of Costa Rica.
