Helcystogramma philomusum is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka and north-eastern India.[2]

The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochrcous, the cell suffused with light fuscous and the plical stigma forming an ochreous spot irrorated with black, preceded and followed by some black irroration on the fold. There is a streak of black irroration from before the middle of the disc to beneath the apex, interrupted on end of cell by a roundish whitish-ochreous blotch enclosing a fuseous-ochreous spot, and three fine interneural lines of black irroration between the cell and termen beneath this. There are also a few scattered black scales in a line from before the middle of the costa to the upper angle of the cell and the apex and termen are suffused light fuscous. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]
