Holotype male (BMNH): 1/ [0 6 mm round label with red margin] Type; 2/ [12x7 mm, white label, printed] Zululand: Um­folosi Riv., June 1922, H.H. Curson; 3/ Pres. by Imp. Bur. Ent. Brit. Mus., 1922—464 ; 4/ "from dung of Rhino"; 5/ [26x13 mm, with handwriting of Ri­chards] "Borborus sordidus Zett . var. hypopygialis Type 3". The holotype is glued on a white card of 11.5x4 mm, its right wing is lost. Paratype (.BMNH): 15 ex. with two labels of the size of 5/: "6 3/10 p Paratypes B. sordidus var. hypopygialis". Their labels: 1/ Paratype; 2/-4/7 same as for holotype; their identity is as follows: 3 3 2 o.: conspecific (one ó dissected, genitalia preserved in glycerin in a plastic microvial); 1 3: Norrbomia elephantis L. Papp, 1988; new for South Africa; 2 ç: Norrbomia kenia­ca L . Papp , 1988; new for South Africa; 2 3, 4 g: Norrbomia elephantis /m paza- ensis (genitalia preparation needed); 1 ex.: not identifiable, only small frag­ments remained glued on its card.
