Abstrakt: We briefly analyse the history of Queen Ulrika's and of Linnaeus' butterfly collections. We show that the type materials of some species were likely moved from Queen Ulrika's to Linnaeus' collection before 1803. We provide evidence that Honey and Scoble (2001) correctly designated the lectotypes of 101 of the 159 species listed in Linnaeus' (1764) publication. We likewise conclude that, although it did not respect of the prevailing concept of the species, the lectotype of Papilio hermione was validly designated by Kudrna (1977); consequently, the neotype of P. hermione designated by Russell and Vane-Wright (2024) is invalid.
