Nordstromia simillima is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Moore in 1888.[1] It is found in north-western India (Kashmir).[2]

Adults are pale brownish-ochreous, both wings crossed by a similar antemedial and a postmedial line. Both these lines are of a paler tint than the ground colour of the wings. The costal spots are larger, and there is a small spot at the lower end of the cell, as well as those on the outer margin of both wings.[3]
