Polynomials and entire functions whose hyperbolic dimension is strictly smaller than the Hausdorff dimension of their Julia set are known to exist but in all known examples the latter dimension is maximal, i.e. equal to two. In this talk I will describe hyperbolic entire functions $f$ having Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set $HD (J _f)<2$ and hyperbolic dimension $HypDim(f)<HD(J_f)$.
