Abstract
A group G is defined to be hypocritical if, whenever G is in a locally finite variety V of groups and G is a section closed class of groups which generates V, then G ε G. The critical groups which for some prime p are an extension of an abelian p-group by a p′-group are considered from the standpoint of hypocriticality.
