Abstract: Given a simple closed plane curve $Gamma$ of length $L$ enclosing a compact convex set $K$ of area $F$, Hurwitz found an upper bound for the isoperimetric deficit, namely $L^2-4piFleqpi|F_e|$, where $F_e$ is the algebraic area enclosed by the evolute of $Gamma$. In this note we improve this inequality finding strictly positive lower bounds for the deficit $pi|F_e|-Delta$, where $Delta=L^2-4piF$. These bounds involve wether the visual angle of $Gamma$ or the pedal curve associated to $K$ with respect to the Steiner point of $K$ or the $mathcal{L}^2$ distance between $K$ and the Steiner disk of $K$. For each established inequality we study when equality holds. This occurs for those compact convex sets being bounded by a curve parallel to an hypocycloid of $3,4$ or $5$ cusps or the Minkowski sum of this kind of sets.
