Torodora fortis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, the costa anteriorly darker, with a slight blackish subcostal mark at the base and a triangular sharply defined blackish blotch in the disc about one-third, its apex resting on the fold anteriorly, the base direct-transverse posteriorly. There is a blackish mark on the costa before the middle and a sharply marked transverse blackish spot in the disc at three-fifths, rather widened upwards. An indistinct pale greyish-ochreous transverse line is found at four-fifths parallel to the termen, edged anteriorly with dark fuscous suffusion, indented above the middle. The hindwings are pale ochreous grey.[2]
