The wingspan is 12–18 mm. The forewings are elongated and rather lanceolate without a characteristic pattern. The hindwings are silvery white.
Etymology[]
The species name is derived from Greek notos (meaning back) and lepis (meaning scale) corresponding to scales on the ventral surface of the hindwings.
