Meyrick, 1894

Torodora characteris is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1894. It is found in Burma.[1]

The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with a rather irregular black spot or small blotch on the submedian fold before one-third of the wing, connected with the inner margin by an indistinct darker suffusion. There is a small transverse black spot in the disc beyond the middle and a faintly indicated slightly bent pale transverse line about four-fifths. The hindwings are rather light fuscous.[2]
