Fotella notalis is a moth in the family Noctuidae first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. It is found in the US in the Big Bend region of western Texas , southern Arizona, southern California and southern Nevada.[1] The habitat consists of dry deserts.
The length of the forewings is 10–13 mm. There is distinct geographic variation, although this variation is not reflected in the male genitalia and rarely in the female genitalia. The male forewing is light tan brown with a few black scales. The hindwings are light brown with darker brown or gray. Adults are on wing throughout spring, summer and fall.
