Apamea gabrieli is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It was first described in 2000 from a specimen collected in the San Gabriel Mountains near Big Pines in Los Angeles County, California. The species is not named after the mountains themselves but rather their eponym, Gabriel.[1] It is also found in the San Bernardino Mountains.[1]
The wingspan of Apamea gabrieli reaches up to 48.5 millimeters. The forewings are brownish-red, while the hindwings are buff.[1]
