Cuniberta is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Heinrich, in 1956, and contains the species C. subtinctella. It is found in western North America.

The wingspan is 22–26 mm. The forewings are grey, more or less dusted with whitish on the basal and median areas. The antemedial line is nearly vertical and bordered outwardly by a black line which is expanded and strongly accented on the costa, bordered inwardly on the lower margin by a reddish or reddish olivaceous patch. The hindwings are pale smoky fuscous.
