Helcystogramma victrix is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are blackish-fuscous with violet-blue-metallic markings and with a streak along the costa from the base to one-third, then continued obliquely downwards to below the middle of the disc. There is a subdorsal streak from the base to near the middle and there is a spot on the dorsum at two-thirds, as well as a somewhat oblique slightly curved irregular fascia from two-thirds of the costa, reaching two-thirds across wing. There is an irregular fascia immediately before the termen, tending to be broken into three or four spots and the termen is tinged with fulvous, with a black marginal line. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
