Two new species of gelechiid moths from the genus Gelechia Hubner are described: G. serratocornuta sp. n. from both Borneo, Malaysia and Mindanao Island, Philippines, and G. bifurcata sp. n. from Mindanao alone. The male genitalia of the new species have the uncus with either a single bifurcated projection or with two projections, these making them distinguished from the other species of this genus with known male genitalia.
