Torodora activata is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Alexey Diakonoff in 1967. It is found on Luzon in the Philippines.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are evenly deep fuscous with a purplish hue. There is a small wedge-shaped oblique transverse mark before four-fifths on the costa, continued across the wing by a minute and faint pale line, inwards-angulate below the costa, broadly outwards-convex in the middle, sinuate above the dorsum, to the dorsum before the tornus. The stigmata are rounded and vague, a little darker than the ground color, the first discal at one-third, the plical slightly larger, beyond this. The second discal is represented by a narrow dark strigula along the closing vein and there is a minute pale spot in the apex. The hindwings are fuscous bronze.[2]
