Nudorthodes variabilis is a moth in the family Noctuidae first described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1912. It is found in the US along the coast of southern California , from Santa Barbara County to San Diego County.
The length of the forewings is 13–14 mm. The forewing ground color is usually even gray brown, sometimes with a slight reddish tint. The medial line is usually prominent, extending obliquely from the costa to the reniform spot and as a straight line from there to the hind margin. The lower third of the reniform spot is filled with a well-defined dark blue-gray patch. Adults have been recorded on wing from late August to mid-September.[1]
