description: Torodora osamensis Park, sp. nov.   
(Figs 2D–F; 3D–F)   Type   
 Holotype. ♂, Cambodia, Prov. Pursat (Osam), 3 May 2010 (Bae, Chae and Vi), gen. slide no. CIS-6062 / Park. Paratypes. 1♂, same data as the holotype, gen. slide no. CIS- 6090 / Park.    Diagnosis   
 This new species is externally similar to T. parotidosa (Wu), which was described from China, with rough scales on the second segment of the labial palpus ventrally, but the loose scales are hair-like, whereas the latter has normal rough scales. The forewing venation also slightly differs with R 3 and R 4 stalked for nearly half their length, whereas R 3 and R 4 stalked for basal one-third of length in the latter. The male genitalia can be differentiated by the stouter uncus, the larger tongue-shaped caudal process of the juxta, and more elongated cucullus. However, the aedeagus is very similar to that of T. parotidosa.    Description   
 Adult (Figure 2D–F). Wingspan 16–17 mm. Head, tegula, and thorax dark fuscous dorsally. Basal segment of antenna slender, greyish orange, densely speckled with dark-fuscous scales; flagellum greyish orange, more or less thick, as much as width of basal segment, gradually slender beyond two-thirds of length. Second segment of labial palpus long, with hair-like, loose scales ventrally, dark brown on outer surface with orange-white apex, orange white on inner surface; third segment slender, as long as second segment, dark brown on ventral surface. Forewing evenly covered with darkbrown scales, with blackish reniform stigma at end of cell; costa nearly straight, but slightly arched beyond three-quarters of length; small orange-white costal patch presented at three-quarters of length; apex obtuse; termen concave beyond apex, sinuate, with distinct blackish scales along margin; fringe with narrow basal line, dark brownish medially; venation with R 2 closer to R 3+4 than R 1, distance between R 1 and R 2 about 1.5 times length of R 2 to R 3+4; R 3 and R 4 stalked before middle; R 4 and R 5 stalked beyond two-thirds of length; R 5 to termen; M 2 close to M 3 at base; M 3 and CuA 1 stalked for basal two-fifths. Hindwing broader than forewing, pale brownish grey; apex more or less obtuse; termen sinuate; fringe coloured the same throughout, with narrow orange-white basal line; venation with M 3 and CuA 1 short stalked. Hind tibia with dark-brown scales dorsally, with white-orange apex. The female is unknown.   
 Male genitalia (Figure 3D–F). Uncus heavily sclerotized, stout, gently bent downward, with round apex. Gnathos well developed with strongly bent median process. Valva broad basally, with triangular angle at basal one-fifth of costa; costa gently concave; cucullus elongate with round apex, median part nearly parallel margins. Juxta with large, tongue-shaped caudal process which about one-half length of tegumen. Saccus slightly concave on anterior margin. Aedeagus very stout, as long as valva, globular at base; cornuti consist of two similar length long bars which are coiled in basal half, a large sclerotized plate bearing spinules, and a small dentate lobe near base.    Distribution   
Cambodia (Pursat Prov.).   Etymology   
This species name is derived from the type locality.
