Torodora屬目前包含超過100個種,大多分布在東方區,少部分分布於古北區與澳洲區. 在Gozmány (1978) 回顧過古北區的折角蛾科與Liu (1994) & Wu (1997)回顧過中國動物相之後, 近期相關研究由作者進行,與台灣有關的為於2000年與Heppner共同發表2個產自台灣的折角蛾新種(文章連結: PDF),在2003年又再描述3種 (文章連結: PDF).

Abstract
As part of studies of the genus Torodora Meyrick (Gelechioidea, Lecithoceridae, Torodorinae) in the Philippines, the Torodora recurvata species group is newly proposed, with 14 identified species, ten of which are new species described herein: T. candida sp. nov., T. argenteola sp. nov., T. parvifoliae sp. nov., T. pediformis sp. nov., T. chatolensis sp. nov., T. lechridia sp. nov., T. cavecostalis sp. nov., T. meyi sp. nov., T. pinigisanica sp. nov. and T. castanea sp. nov. A full bibliography and diagnosis for all known species and descriptions of the new species are provided, together with illustrations of the male or female genitalia. A key to the species of the group based on the external characteristics is also provided. Seven species originally assigned to the genus Lecithocera Herrich-Schäffer are transferred to the genus Torodora Meyrick: T. activata (Diakonoff), comb. nov., T. ochrocapna (Meyrick), comb. nov., T. recurvata (Meyrick), comb. nov., T. niphotricha (Diakonoff), comb. nov., T. argocrossa (Meyrick) comb. nov., T. claustrata (Meyrick), comb. nov., T. orbata (Meyrick), comb. nov. Lecithocera phanerostoma Diakonoff is synonymized with T. recurvata (Meyrick), syn. nov. One previously reported species, T. ochrocapna (Meyrick) was not found in this study.
