Helcystogramma imagitrijunctum is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Hou-Hun Li and Hui Zhen in 2011. It is found in Taiwan and the Chinese provinces of Guizhou, Jiangxi and Zhejiang.[1]
The wingspan is 11–14 mm. The forewings are yellow to greyish yellow, with scattered greyish-brown scales. The costal margin is dark brown, except for the distal quarter. There is a dark brown fascia from the costal two-thirds to the dorsal two-fifths, as well as black scale tufts at the middle of the cell and at the middle of the fold, two black scale tufts at the end of the cell and a broad dark brown fascia terminally. The hindwings are greyish white to grey.
Etymology[edit]
The species name refers to the similarity of the species to Helcystogramma trijunctum and is derived from the name of this species and Latin prefix imag - (meaning similar).[2]
