Tornodoxa leptopalta is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Taiwan.
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish, irregularly sprinkled and mixed grey, more or less wholly suffused grey on the posterior half and with some scattered black scales near the base, and in a subcostal series on the basal fourth. A slender black streak is found along the fold throughout, and one in the disc from before the middle to the termen beneath the apex, each of these margined with grey suffusion above. A short streak of grey suffusion is found along the costa about the middle. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled in the disc towards the base, with the veins and termen suffused darker.[2]
