Torodora pellax is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found in India (Assam).[1]
The wingspan is 16-20 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous, with the stigmata cloudy and blackish-fuscous, the plical beneath the first discal, sometimes suffused with it into an undefined cloudy blotch, the second discal forming a transverse somewhat 8-shaped mark. There is a small cloudy ochreous-whitish spot on the costa at four-fifths, where a slightly curved obscure ochreous-whitish line runs to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
