Notodryas vallata is a small moth from Australia, in the family Epermeniidae. It’s found in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Victoria. The wingspan is 8–10 mm. The forewings are white with two bright ferruginous (reddish-brown) bands mixed with black on the upper side, sometimes edged in black. The first band is in the middle and slants inward; the second runs near the tornus (the bottom rear corner) and is vertical, often connected to the disc. There are ferruginous streaks from the second band along the costa and termen to the apex, sometimes faint or ending in a black spot. The hindwings are dark fuscous (grayish-brown). The larvae feed on the leaves of Eucalyptus macrorhyncha and tie the leaves together with silk.
