Taygete notospila is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-yellow irregularly sprinkled with dark fuscous. The markings are fuscous edged with dark fuscous irroration. There is a short slender oblique streak from the base of the costa and a mark at one-third, as well as an irregular blotch from the dorsum before the middle reaching more than half across the wing. A large spot is found on the costa at two-thirds and there is a triangular spot on the tornus opposite nearly meeting or sometimes connected with it. Two smaller triangular spots are found on the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
