While the definition of "Hypo" is murky at best, those last two have such a reduced pattern that I would possibly include them as a hypo.
Hypo has so many different meanings. Some people call every Gecko who has less than 10 spots a Hypo. But we have to differentiate between the genetic hypo and the Hypos we call so just because they have less than 10 spots.

As you can see with the baby fotos: You can tell the Hypos apart from normal babys very well. What I consider as Hypo is the genetic Hypo. So I don't count spots.

Too bad that my english is so bad that I cannot explain myself.
But what I mean is, you musnt call every human having more hairs on body like others an ape, just because he has so much hairs. His Genotype, the human DNA, makes him a human, not the number of hairs.

So if we find out,about the genetics behind the Ray Hine Hypogene, maybe then we need a new name for it.
