Torodora sortilega is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It is found in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India, and in Taiwan.
The wingspan is 21-23 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous, somewhat sprinkled with fuscous and with the costal edge ochreous-yellowish except towards the base, where it is dark fuscous. The stigmata are blackish, the first discal well-marked, the plical obsolete, absorbed in a transverse mark of dark fuscous suffusion from the dorsum, the second discal represented by two transversely placed sometimes connected dots. There is a small spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the costa somewhat beyond the first discal and a wedge-shaped mark of blackish suffusion on the costa, where a rather pale obscure anteriorly fuscous-edged somewhat curved line runs to four-fifths of the dorsum. There is also an interrupted blackish terminal line. The hindwings are pale ochreous tinged with fuscous.
