Abstract
Two new species of the gelechiid moth genus Helcystogramma are described from Panama: H. jeffi sp. n. and H. almi sp. n. Based on male genitalia, they are assigned to the perelegans and trijunctum groups, respectively, both identified for the regional fauna of China. Helcystogramma effi sp. n. is morphologically similar to H. amethystias (Meyrick), from the Indo-Malay Region, and H. perelegans (N. Omelko et M. Omelko), from East Asia, but it differs by the uncus of the male genitalia bearing rounded lobes distally. Helcystogramma almi sp. n. in showing a variegate coloration of the wings is similar to H. carycastis (Meyrick), a species from Brazil and British Guiana, but in male genitalic structure it is closer to H. imagitrijunctum Li et Zhen and H. albilepidotum Li et Zhen, both from China.
