Diagnosis. The new subgenus Hyporhoe differs from the nominative subgenus Catarhoe in the appearance by the cylindric male flagellum, by the weakly sinuous and somewhat blurred transverse lines on the wings; in the wing venation by the short proximal areole on the forewing and lacking the vein A2 on the hindwing; in the male genitalia by the obtuse distal process of the costa of valva, by presence of numerous small spines on the costa of valva, and by lacking cornuti on the vesica of phallus; in the female genitalia by the presence of a relatively narrow and strictly transverse ring of sclerotisation of the ductus bursae at the base of the corpus bursae.

Description. See description of the species.

Etymology. The name Hyporhoe is formed by the combination of Ancient Greek prefix ὑπο- (hupó—under, sub-, hypo-) and noun ῥοή (feminine gender) (rhoḗ—a river, a stream).
