T. lecithocerella (Viette, 1956) was described on females from south-eastern Madagascar (Andohahelo massif), originally placed in Lecithocera, but transferred to Torodora by Park et al. (2020). With regard to the habitus (color, forewing pattern and markings), no difference was found between this male and the holotype of T. lecithocerella. We thus regard the male in question as conspecific with T. lecithocerella in this paper. However, this remains uncertain because the hind wing venation of this male specimen (Fig. 10C) has M 3 and CuA 1 coincident, whereas the venation of the holotype (a female) is complete, according to Park et al.

The genitalia of this new species are very characteristic with an extremely large, conspicuously bifurcated uncus, which is unique in the genus. However, the venation of both pairs of wings and other morphological characters (including the shape of the labial palpus) match rather well those of the other species of the genus. Accordingly, this new species is tentatively placed in Torodora, although its generic position may be revised when further material becomes available.</p> <p>Description. Male (Figs. 21A–C). Wingspan, 19.5 mm. Head: golden yellow to brownish orange (although vertex has lost many scales), golden yellow on frons, with golden-yellow erect scales laterally. Antenna broken away in distal part; scape elongated, yellowish brown dorsally; flagellum golden yellow, without annulations. 2 nd segment of labial palpus thickened, long, soot brown on outer surface, yellowish on inner surface; 3 rd segment slender, as long as 2 nd segment, gently upturned. Thorax: tegula and thorax soot brown. Hind tibia with soot brown scales dorsally in proximal 4/5, golden yellow in apical 1/5. Forewing slightly broadened distally; ground color soot brown; antemedian band absent; postmedian line oblique, narrow, zigzagging medially; apex angulate; termen oblique, slightly sinuate; fringe concolorous with forewing ground color, with a narrow, yellowish-white proximal line; venation with R 3 stalked with R 4 for basal 2/5; R 4 stalked with R 5 for basal 2/3; R 5 to apex; base of M 2 remote from M 3 and nearly parallel to it; base of M 3 remote from CuA 1+2; CuA 1 and CuA 2 stalked for basal 1/3. Hind wing ground color similar to that of the forewing; venation complete; M 3 and CuA 1 stalked for basal half. Abdomen (Figs. 21F, G): yellowish brown dorsally; spinose zones narrow, lying along posterior edges of terga; abdominal sternum VIII (Fig. 21G) nearly pentagonal, slightly emarginate on meson.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs. 21D, E): Uncus extremely large, bifurcated with heavily sclerotized lateral processes (apical tooth of each process similar to a rake hook).
