Abstract

New species of gelechiid moths from the genus Helcystogramma Zeller — H. similigena sp. nov. and H. ornata sp. nov. — have been described from Laos and Malaysia. The species H. similigena sp. nov. collected in Laos is similar in wing coloration and male genitalia to H. delocosma (Meyrick, 1936), a species described from Java and found by us in Borneo.
