Torodora phuruaensis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Kyu-Tek Park in 2007. It is found in Thailand.

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings have a dark fuscous subbasal zone bordered by yellowish white, followed by an almost straight antemedian line. This antemedian line is followed by a brownish area, with a large, round dark fuscous discal stigma at the end of the cell. There is a small, triangular yellowish costal patch on the costa at four-fifths connected to the postmedian line, which is thin and S shaped. The hindwings are pale brownish orange.

Etymology

The species name refers to Phu Ruea in Thailand, the collecting locality of the holotype.
