Torodora biovalata is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Wadhawan and Walia in 2007. It is found in India (Rajasthan).[1]

The wingspan is 20-21 mm for males and about 26 mm for females. The forewings are fuscous with the costa narrowly light yellow, expanded at three-fourths from the base, continued below as a white thin line up to the inner margin, bent in the middle towards the termen. There are two blackish-fuscous spots in the discal cell with one in the middle and the other at the end, the former spot accompanied with three to four patches of a few white scales. The hindwings are brownish-ochraceous, with the basal half of the costa creamy-white. Adults have been recorded on wing in March, April, August, September and October.

Etymology

The species name refers to the two latero-distal oval processes on the juxtal plate.[2]
