Helcystogramma balteatum is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is known from north-eastern India.[1]
The wingspan is 13–14 mm. The forewings are dark shining purplish-leaden-grey with a blackish-fuscous trapezoidal blotch on the dorsum before the middle, reaching two-thirds across the wing, edged with whitish-ochreous. There is an oblique whitish-ochreous strigula from the costa before the middle, edged posteriorly with dark fuscous. A second discal stigma is small, transverse-linear and whitish-ochreous and there is a nearly straight double whitish-ochreous streak from about three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, somewhat dilated on the costa, followed by a fascia of blackish-fuscous suffusion. There is also a whitish-ochreous streak round the apex and termen to near the tornus, thickened at the apex, edged with a blackish marginal line. The hindwings are blackish-fuscous.[2]
