"Hypotrix hueco is superficially similar to H. alamosa, but averages larger, the medial area is pale with whitish shading that contrasts with the darker color of the basal and subterminal areas, and the postmedial line is well removed from the outer edge of the reniform spot. The outward displacement of the postmedial line results in a very narrow subterminal area, similar in width to the terminal area" (1).

This species is known only from Southeastern Arizona. (1).
