Torodora leucochlora View in CoL species complex

T. leucochlora (Meyrick) View in CoL was described from Kuching, Malaysian Borneo and placed in the genus Lecithocera Herrich-Shäffer ( Meyrick, 1910) View in CoL . Later it was transferred to Harbrogenes Meyrick, 1918, by Clarke (1965).

However, the genus Harbrogenes was synonymized with Torodora View in CoL by Gozmány (1978). The species group is characterized by the orange-white ground color of wings and body, but the wing venation agrees well with that of Torodora View in CoL ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ). The male genitalia are characterized by the broadly expanded cucullus and H-shaped juxta, and the female genitalia have a long ductus bursae, and an elongate, densely scobinate signum. The following two species known from Malaysian Borneo and the Philippines are reviewed here. T. eupatris (Meyrick) View in CoL , which is known from Khasi Hills, Assam (lectotype in BMNH), also certainly belongs to this species-complex, but it is not included in this review, due to unavailability of material. The species can be easily distinguished from T. leucochlora View in CoL and T. niphadodes Park View in CoL , sp. nov. by having large blackish patches on the forewing.
