The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the widely used specific name Phalaena croesella Scopoli, 1763 (currently Adela croesella) for a common European fairy moth (family ADELIDAE) by designating a neotype.
It is proposed that all previous type fixations for Phalaena croesella Scopoli, 1763 are set aside and a neotype is designated.
