Notodonta dromedarius, the iron prominent, is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in Europe and Anatolia.

Illustration from John Curtis's British Entomology Volume 5

The wingspan is 35–40 mm. Notodonta dromedarius has grey or dark brown forewings with rusty and yellowish stains. A broken rust-brown band runs along the outside edge of the front wing. There is a small discal spot, a postmedial crossline which is often broken and outer margins which are suffused dark red. The hindwings are usually pale grey-brown with dark veining. The colouring is very variable and very dark specimens are found.

The moth flies from April to August depending on the location.

The larvae feed on Corylus avellana, birch, alder and oak.[1]
