Abstract
Five new species of the genus Heliozela Herrich-Schaffer, 1853, H. glabrata sp. nov., H. brevitalea sp. nov., H. limbata sp. nov., H. biprominens sp. nov., and H. angulata sp. nov., are described with illustrations from Japan, while only two species of the genus, H. subpurpurea Meyrick, 1941 and H. castaneella Kuroko, 1982, were previously recorded. These species strongly resemble each other in the wing-pattern, but they are distinguishable mainly by the male genitalia.
