Helcystogramma hoplophorum is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1916. It is known from India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar.[1]
The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are bronzy-brown with violet-blue-metallic markings, somewhat edged with dark fuscous and with a streak along the costa from the base to beyond one-third, thence obliquely downwards to below the middle of the disc. There is a subdorsal streak from the base of the dorsum to beyond one-third and a transverse irregular streak at three-fifths. The costal extremity is white, the ground colour beyond this wholly dark fuscous. There is also an irregular waved streak just before the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
