Helcystogramma thesmiopa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Pará, Brazil.^[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are violet grey with a transverse-oval blackish blotch, finely edged with white, resting on the middle of the dorsum and reaching three-fourths of the way across the wing, the anterior edge is prominent in the middle, and with the lower part of the blotch occupied (except for the margins) by a light grey irregular spot. There is a large black finely white-edged dot in disc at three-fifths and a fine slightly curved line of whitish irroration (sprinkles) from a wedge-shaped white mark on the costa at four-fifths to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a marginal series of white dots edged with blackish terminally around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.^[2]
