Afrocerura cameroona is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and São Tomé & Principe (São Tomé).[1]
The wingspan is about 60 mm. Both wings are shining snow white, with a few black markings. The forewings have a trace of an oblique interrupted black dash in the fold and a trace of a median interrupted line, visible as a small black costal mark. There is also a trace of another line in the cell, and a fair sized mark on the inner margin. There is a trace of two very short black costal dashes beyond the cell, followed by a black wedge-shaped costal mark. A bare trace of a black subterminal line is mainly noticeable by a fair sized black mark on the inner margin almost in the tornus. The hindwings are uniform white.[2]
