Alfredo Borelli (18 November 1858, in Marseilles – 6 May 1943, in Boves, Piedmont) was a French-born Italian zoologist, who worked mainly in Turin but who, early in his natural history career, conducted field work in South America.
Borelli graduated in law from Aix University in 1888 and practised as a lawyer in Marseilles for a while before deciding to follow his interest in the natural sciences, going to his family's home country of Italy and graduating from the University of Turin in 1886.
He worked in Munich and Berlin but most of his scientific career was spent at the institute of zoology of the University of Turin, from where he retired in 1930.
[7] Hypostomus borellii is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae.
It is native to the upper and middle Pilcomayo River basin in Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia.
