Torodora epiphorana is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Kyu-Tek Park in 2002. It is found in Thailand.[1]

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings have a conspicuous blackish spot and two small spots near the upper and lower angles. There is an ill-defined yellowish costal patch at three-fourths. The hindwings are grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the oblique median line of the forewings and is derived from Greek epiphor (meaning slanting).[2]
