Coelopoeta phaceliae is a moth in the superfamily Gelechioidea. It is found in the US state of California.[2]
The species was described in 1995 by Lauri Kaila. The holotype is a male reared by R. E. Dietz and P. A. Opler from a caterpillar (J. Powell 70F95) collected on Fandango Pass, Modoc County, at 6,100 feet (1,900 m) elevation, on 12 or 13 June 1970, which emerged from its cocoon on 7 July (of the same year), although specimens are known to have been collected since at least 1962. It is kept at the Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley.[2]
