Torodora quadrangulata is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Deepak Wadhawan and Virinder Kumar Walia in 2007. It is found in India.

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are ochraceous on, suffused with fuscous, more so in distal one-third, the latter part divided by a submarginal band of ground colour. There are blackish-fuscous markings, including a patch at the base of the costa, a speck below the costa at one-third, a large triangular patch between and below these two and a smaller discocellular spot towards the base. The hindwings are greyish brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in June and August.

Etymology

The species name refers to the squarish shape of gnathos.
