This subspecies, described from Central Asia, differs from N. ziczac ziczac by its paler wing color and wide triangular-formed sclerotization of the valva extending from the costa to the center of the valva ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 9 – 15 ). Although the authors have not located the types in the MNHU collection, A. Schintlmeister provided slides of a male syntype and an undissected female lectotype specimen of N. ziczac pallida indicating “Juldus” as the locality. Lectotype, female: designated by Thomas Witt, München, printed, red, square label, hand writing label ( Notodonta ziczac v. pallida Grünberg (Seitz)), printed type locality label (Juldus), small rosy printed label (origin.), hand writing white label (abgebildet) and yellow printed label (photo by A. Schintlmeister #2750).

Juldus (now Kaidu He, Xinjiang, West China) is a large, lowland Central Asian river sourced from the Tian–Shan mountains supporting a "tugay forest" of poplar and willow trees. We have studied several specimens from nearby localities with similar habitats (Ili, Orta–Kokpak rivers) and found those specimens matched the type specimens. N. ziczac pallida is geographically isolated in the Taklamakan desert and Tibetan plateau where it is found along lowland rivers with poplar species and also differs morphologically from high altitude species N. valeria sp. n.
