Helcystogramma helicopis is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Peru.[1]
The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are blackish with the extreme base grey and with a narrow irregular grey subbasal fascia, which is metallic-blue on the costa. Beyond this is an irregular metallic-blue transverse line not reaching the costa. There is also an oblique metallic-blue streak from a white dot on the costa at two-fifths to the middle of the wing, as well as an irregular zigzag metallic-blue transverse line at three-fifths, not reaching the costa. A nearly straight grey line runs from a white dot on the costa at three-fifths to the dorsum at three-fourths and there is a pale iridescent-grey marginal line around the apex and termen, preceded by an irregular-edged narrow metallic-blue fascia. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
