  • Torodora karismata Park, 2010 (Figs. 3, 7, 7 a–b, 9) Torodora karismata Park, 2010. Ent. Sci. 13: 254. Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 3). Wingspan 16–17 mm. The species has a unique forewing coloration, with a dark to mustard-brown ground color and several yellowish-white patches, which easily differentiates this species from its allies. The male genitalia are similar to those of Antiochtha Meyrick, but the venation is well matched to that of Torodora, with M 2 present in the both wings. The forewing venation has R 2 arising near the upper corner of the cell, R 3 and R 4 stalked near 2 / 5, R 5 absent, M 1 far from R 3 at base, M 2 nearly connate with M 3, M 3 on common stalk with CuA 1 + 2, CuA 1 and CuA 2 stalked. The hindwing venation has Rs and M 1 stalked at 1 / 3, M 2 well-developed, and M 3 and CuA 1 stalked near middle. In the male genitalia (Fig. 7), the uncus is broad at base, then slender with parallel sides, heavily sclerotized, with a round apex; the valva is broad basally, narrowing toward the middle, with an elongate cucullus; the juxta is heavily sclerotized, with strongly angled caudal processes (Fig. 7 a); and the phallus is stout, broadened basally, narrowed towards apex, with four short processes apically. The female genitalia can be distinguished from those of T. sabahana Park, sp. nov, as illustrated in Fig. 9. Distribution. Thailand.
