Profilinota notaula is a moth in the Depressariidae family, and the only species in the genus Profilinota. It was described by Meyrick in 1933 and is found in Bolivia and Venezuela.

The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are fuscous, with a faint purplish tinge, and whitish reflections, as well as a moderate white dorsal streak from the base to the tornus, the edge sinuate in the middle. There is a small white spot on the end of the cell. The hindwings are white, with a fuscous apical patch occupying about two-fifths of the wing.
