Abstract
The monoconta species-group of the genus Torodora Meyrick is proposed, and its species are reviewed. Three new species are described: T. vietnamensis sp. nov., T. babeana sp. nov., and T. rectivalvata sp. nov. A key to the species of the group is provided, along with photographs of the adults and their genitalia.References
