SYNTYPE
Object remarks: Two almost identical sets of labels (Ulriksdal + Dalman) mixed for NRM 14 + 5907. Two specimens from Drottningholm according to Quensel's catalogue, but 5 possible spms available. Linnaeus' description and fig. must at least partly be based on the 420 mm spm! (same number of spots) and should be a good choise for a lectotype /EIÅ, 2002.
Locality remarks: Dates (material descr. by Linnaeus) predates 1754. Originally at Ulriksdals Castle. Transferred from Drottningholm Castle to KVA [=later NRM] in 1801.
