Helcystogramma balteatum is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward 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 of the way 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]
