Hypena is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. It was first described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802. These non-migratory moths overwinter as pupae and almost never estivate as adults.

Taxonomy

The genus includes the former Bomolocha species.
Description

Antennae minutely ciliated in male. An acute frontal tuft present. Thorax smoothly scaled. Abdomen with dorsal tufts. Mid and hind tibia slightly hairy. Forewings with acute and depressed apex.[1]
