The paper describes two new species of gelechiid moths from Sumatra, Indonesia - N. obtusilobata sp.nov. and N. acutilobata sp. nov. The moths are of the genus Namlika Omelko M. et Omelko N. Based on the general appearance and genitalia characters of both sexes, these species are closely related to the type species N. davidi Omelko M. et Omelko N. from Central Laos: similarly to the genitalia of the type species, the female N. obtusilobata sp. nov. has a ribbon-shaped signum of the copulatory bursa. The species N. aculeativalva M. Omelko et N. Omelko and N. orbiculativalva M. Omelko et N. Omelko, previously described from Borneo, have a copulatory bursa with two horn-shaped signa.
