Coluber agilis or aesculapii Linnaeus, 1758
Object remarks: Labels from Quensel [rather Leufsta/EIÅ, 2014] (Coluber agilis), Dalman (Coluber agilis Linn. Merr.), Smitt, and Andersson. Quensel states in his catalogue (1802): "28 / agilis 1102. Mus.Ad.Fr. 1:27. t.21.f.2. Unicum exempl. different colore a religius./ Ceylon //3./" In Hornstedt's catalogue (1788) C. agilis (3) C Aesculapii (4) and C lemniscatus (2) are included; in brackets number of sprecimens added by Quensel. All these, most probably, from de Geer or, possibly, from von Höpken. Possible syntype of Coluber agilis or some other Linnaean species. Similar to illustration in Linnaeus 1754, XXI:2 /EIÅ, 2009 Probably seen by Linnaeus and maybe syntype of Coluber agilis or Coluber aesculapi / EIÅ, 2015
