Helcystogramma fiscinata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in South Africa.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, marked between the veins with brown lines irrorated with dark fuscous, less marked and incomplete on the costal two-fifths, strong on the rest of the wing, especially two terminating beneath the apex in a suffused terminal spot. There are very oblique suffused dark fuscous lines from the costa at one-fifth, two-fifths and four-fifths, crossing the costal two-fifths. The stigmata is small, dark fuscous and slightly edged with whitish, with the plical somewhat before the first discal. The hindwings are grey.[2]
