Diagnosis. Torodora is similar to the genera Thubana Walker, 1864 and Deltoplastis Meyrick, 1925 . It can be distinguished from Thubana by the forewing with M 3 free from CuA 1+2 and R 5 usually present, whereas M 3 is stalked with CuA 1+2 and R 5 is absent in Thubana ; from Deltoplastis by the hindwing with M 2 present, whereas it is absent in Deltoplastis .
Generic characters. Antenna as long as or longer than forewing, ciliate ventrally in male of some species, always smooth in female. Labial palpus with second palpomere thickened, third palpomere slender. Forewing usually slightly widened distally; discocellular stigma single or doubled (one located posterior to another); cell closed; R 1 and R 2 free, R 3, R 4 and R 5 stalked, R 5 rarely absent, M 1, M 2 and M 3 free, CuA 1 and CuA 2 stalked. Hindwing wider; cell closed; M 2 present, M 3 and CuA 1 stalked or arising from same point.Abdominal tergites with zones of spiniform setae.
Male genitalia: Uncus wide at base, narrowed or widened distally, bilobed at apex in some species. Gnathos with broad lateral arms usually fused at middle, forming a basal plate; mesial process present or absent. Valva extending outward or obliquely dorsad, broad basally; cucullus usually well-defined, diverse, setose; costal bar reduced, free at base in some species; sacculus banded, usually reaching cucullus. Vinculum narrow, rarely widened anteriorly. Juxta diverse, usually with a pair of posterolateral lobes. Aedeagus with or without cornuti.
Female genitalia: Eighth abdominal sternite concave at middle on posterior margin. Ductus seminalis arising from ductus bursae, narrower than ductus bursae. Corpus bursae smooth, rarely with granules on inner wall; signum usually single, denticulate on surface.
Distribution. Torodora is widely distributed in the Oriental, Palearctic and Ethiopian regions, and only two species in the Australian region.
