It was described by Carl Heinrich in 1956.[1] Its only species is Adelphia petrella, which was originally described as Pempelia petrella by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1846. It is found in North America,[2] from New Jersey to Florida and westward to Iowa and Texas .[3]
Another species, Adelphia ochripunctella, was formerly included in this genus,[4] but is now placed in the genus Pseudadelphia.
