Nematopogon taiwanella is known from Tayuling in Nantou, Taiwan

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 kawakamiiโ€“Tsuga chinensis conifer woodland, with shrubby Rhododendron bushes and patches of pygmy bamboo.[1]

The wingspan is 18โ€“21 mm. The forewings are pale yellowish brown, but slightly darker at the costal margin. The hindwings are pale light yellowish grey, almost transparent.[1]
