The new species are T. barathrona Park, sp. nov., T. canalis Park, sp. nov., T. cordisigna Park, sp. nov., T. digitalis Park, sp. nov., and T. multispinata sp. nov. In addition, T. metasaris (Meyrick, 1911), comb. nov. and Torodora pegasana Wu & Liu, 1994 are reported for the first time from Laos. Images of adults and genitalia for the new species and the first known species are provided, along with a list of the previously known species with new collected localities.
