Dinochares notolepis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae first described by Kyu-Tek Park in 1999. It is found in Taiwan.[2]
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.
