The compounds
or ions which doesn't follow octet rule inspite of that contains less than
eight electrons and also stable called Hypovalent species.
For examples BeF2,BF3, CH4+,
NF2+, B2H6, Be2Cl4
etc
Hypovalent
species may act as Lewis acid always.

For examples XeFe2(10e),
XeFe4(12e), SF4(10e), SFe6(12e), IFe7(14e),
I2Cl6(10e), TeF5(12e) etc
Hypervalent species
may act as Lewis acid but not always.
