Adelidae is the name of a family of moths that contains the fairy moths. Fairy moths have a wingspan of 4-28 millimeters, with long antennae 1-3 times as long as the forewing. They can be found over much of North America and Eurasia from April to June. The larvae feed on bits of leaves on the ground, and the adults feed on nectar from herbaceous (woody) plants. In biological classification, family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is 1) a rank or 2) a taxon in that rank. ... A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly. ...

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 (familyADELIDAE) 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.
