Torodora parasema is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in India (Bengal, Kanara, Himachal Pradesh).[1]
The wingspan is 13-15 mm. The forewings are rather dark purplish-fuscous with two blackish fasciae, slightly less oblique than the termen, at two-fifths and four-fifths respectively, the first rather dilated anteriorly in the disc, the second posteriorly edged with ochreous-whitish on the costal third and rather convex on the middle third. There is a transverse blackish spot in the disc before the second fascia, its lower extremity tending to be separated. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
