Profilinota notaula is a moth in the Depressariidae family, and the only species in the genus Profilinota. It was described by Meyrick in 1933 and is found in Bolivia and Venezuela.[1]

The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are fuscous, with a faint purplish tinge, and whitish reflections, as well as a moderate white dorsal streak from the base to the tornus, the edge sinuate in the middle. There is a small white spot on the end of the cell. The hindwings are white, with a fuscous apical patch occupying about two-fifths of the wing.[2]
