Torodora rectivalvata is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae described by Kyu-Tek Park in 2007. It is found in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.[1]

The wingspan is 17.5–18 mm. The forewings are elongate and broader towards the apex. The ground colour is shiny brownish orange, often with a large pale orange, quadrate area mesially on the upper surface. The hindwings are pale yellowish brown.[1]

Etymology

The specific name is derived from the Latin rectus (meaning straight) and refers to the straight costa of the valva.[1]
