Nolasena is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. It is monotypic, meaning it has only one species, Nolasena ferrifervens. This species is found in India, Sri Lanka, Borneo, and the Philippines. Both the genus and species were first described by Francis Walker in 1858.

Nolasena ferrifervens has forewings with a slightly pointed tip. The palps extend forward; the second segment has hair on its upper side, and the third segment ends in a sharp point. The antennae have tiny hairs. In the wing, veins 8 and 9 join to form a small wing cell called an areole. The wingspan is about 18 to 21 millimeters.
