The original description of Holopyga capensis MOCSÁRY seems to be based on a single specimen, but there are three additional specimens in the collection in the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, which are apparently no types. The lectotype of KIMSEY (1986b: 107) should be considered as the holotype. Hedychridium capense var. viride EDNEY 1940 is a junior homonym of Hedychridium ardens var. viride TRAUTMANN & TRAUTMANN 1919 .
