Norape undulata is a moth of the Megalopygidae family. It was described by Jones in 1912.[1] It is found in Brazil.
The wingspan is about 27 mm for males and 33 mm for females. The basal third of the costa of the forewings is fuscous and there is a geminate fuscous spot in the end of the cell, as well as a subterminal row of fuscous spots above veins 2-5. An antemedial bar of raised scales is found from the cell to the inner margin and there is a similar medial bar and postmedial band, the latter reaching indistinctly to the costa. The hindwings are pure white.[2]
