Nematopogon taiwanella is a moth of the Adelidae family or fairy longhorn moths. It was described by Mikhail Vasilievich Kozlov in 2001.[1][2] It is found in Taiwan,[1][2] where it was collected in the forest area above Tayuling (Nantou) at 2,900 m (9,500 ft) above sea level. This is a rather open, very old Abies kawakamii–Tsuga chinensis conifer woodland, with shrubby Rhododendron bushes and patches of pygmy bamboo.[1]
