Torodora fuscobasalis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by K.T. Park in 2002. It is found in Thailand.[1]

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are dark brown before the antemedian line, which is bordered by creamy white scales and followed by a pale brownish-grey area. The discal spot is relatively large and found near the upper angle of the cell. There is also a triangular greyish orange costal spot at four-fifths. The hindwings are grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the dark brown basal half of the forewings and is derived from Latin fusc (meaning brown).[2]
