SYNTYPE Pegasus volitans Linnaeus, 1758
Object remarks: Syntype for Pegasus volitans Linnaeus, 1758 and for Pegasus volans Linnaeus, 1766; labels: Ulriksdal (Pegasus volans[emended with pen to volitans]), Dalman, square ink-label. cf. Fernholm & Wheeler (1983). Linnaeus (1754) gives Habitat in Amboina, but this probably refers to Gronovius (1754:65) and Ruysch (1710:42) only, but the specimen might well have an origin in Ambon anyway. / EIÅ, 1991 and 2015.
Locality remarks: Specimen(s) with printed Ulriksdal-label from 1765 or before - 'Drottningholm-label', and not associated with known collector, geographic origin, etc.; cf. Fernholm & Wheeler (1983:203-204). Moved from Ulriksdal to Drottningholm in 1773 and to the Academy (KVA, later NRM) 16-20 Jun 1801. Collection examined by Linnaeus 4 times.
