Torodora eupatris is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in India (Assam).[1]
The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are bright yellow-ochreous with an ill-defined transverse white line near the base and a sinuate white transverse line somewhat before the middle. The space between these two lines is occupied, except towards the costa, by a suffused blackish blotch, more or less sprinkled posteriorly with blue-whitish. There are three white marks on the posterior half of the costa, sometimes confluent, as well as a crescentic white mark in the disc beyond the middle. A blotch of dark fuscous suffusion extends over the dorsal half of the wing from the antemedian line to near the termen. The hindwings are light grey, becoming pale ochreous-yellowish towards the apex.[2]
