Helcystogramma flavistictum is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Hou-Hun Li and Hui Zhen in 2011. It is found in the Chinese provinces of Gansu, Henan and Shaanxi.[1]
The wingspan is 13–14.5 mm. The forewings are yellowish brown, with scattered dark brown scales. The basal three-quarters of the costal margin and apex are dark brown, with yellow dots along the distal quarter of the costal margin and termen. The hindwings are grey.
Etymology[edit]
The species name refers to the yellow dots along the distal quarter of the costal margin and the termen on the forewing and is derived from Latin prefix flav- (meaning yellow) and Latin stictus (meaning spotted).[2]
