Torodora caligula is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found on Tagula Island in New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are fuscous, faintly tinged lilac and with a small flattened-triangular whitish spot on the costa at three-fourths, where a slightly curved fine indented whitish line (sometimes almost obsolete) runs to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are grey, in males with a long whitish-yellowish hair-pencil from the base lying along the costa. The costal edge of the wing is dark fuscous towards the middle.[2]
