Negera unispinosa is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Watson in 1965. It is found in Malawi.

The length of the forewings is about 21.5 mm for males and 24.5 mm for females. The colour-pattern of the wings is as for Negera confusa. The costa of the forewings is pale pinkish brown, with a brown apical costal marking, edged distally with white. The remaining two costal markings are pink and the area between the medial fascia is pale yellowish brown enclosing a large paler area at the end of the cell. The area distal to the postmedial fascia is pale yellowish brown and speckled with black at the anal margin between the postmedial fascia and the tornus. The hindwings are very pale buff proximal to the antemedial fascia, pinkish buff between the antemedial and medial fasciae and pale yellowish brown distal to medial fascia.
