The article describes two new species of gelechiid moths of the genus Photodotis Meyrick — Ph. reiterata sp. nov. and Ph. mountiapoensis sp. nov. —from the Philippine Islands of Mindanao and Luzon. The paper establishes differences in wing coloration of P. reiterata sp. nov. from two islands: individuals from Mindanao have dark brownish forewings with a well-defined pattern, while those from Luzon exhibit a brownish or sandy hue with a faint pattern. No differences were found in the male or female genitalia between the island populations. Ph. decolorata M. Omelko et N. Omelko, recently described from Borneo (Malaysia), has been found on Luzon Island, Philippines.
