Helcystogramma neurograpta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Zimbabwe.[1]

The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are dark violet grey, the veins and the fold are more or less streaked with black. A small obscure light brownish 8-shaped spot is found at the end of the cell, edged in the middle anteriorly and sometimes also posteriorly by a minute white dot. There are some small black marginal dots around the apex and termen, around the apex separated by minute whitish dots. The hindwings are grey.[2]
