Nematopogon taiwanella is a moth of the Adelidae family or fairy longhorn moths. It was described by Kozlov in 2001.[1] It is found in Taiwan, where it was collected in the forest area above Tayuling. This is a rather open, very old Abies kawakamii-Tsuga chinensis conifer woodland, with shrubby Rhododendron bushes and patches of pygmy bamboo.
