Hypomecis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1821.

Palpi oblique, reaching beyond the frons and fringed with hair below.

Forewings with slightly crenulate (scalloped) cilia.

[1] Most of them are patterned cryptically and when they sit on bark, the markings appear like patches of lichen.

Studies have shown that they choose the site for resting with care so that the pattern of crypsis is enhanced.
