Abstract
New gelechiid-moth species of Helcystogramma are described from central Laos: H. militis sp. n. and H. falsa sp. n. The structure of the genitalia of the male of H. hoplophorum Meyrick and of the previously unknown female of H. augusta (Meyrick) are described. Both these species are recorded in Laos for the first time.
