( Figs. 9, 10 )

Torodora phuruaensis Park, 2007a: 25 . TL: Loei, Thailand.

Diagnosis. Wingspan 15.0 mm. The forewing color pattern of the species is similar to that of T. arcifera (Meyrick, 1907) and T. nabiella Park, 2006 , but the male genitalia are quite different by having broad valva produced as a triangle apically. It is also superficially similar to the new species, Antiochtha hemitatos Park , sp. nov., but it can be distinguished by the male genitalia.
