    This is one of Linnaeus' specimens.  What kind of type specimen would it be? - ProProfs

    This is one of Linnaeus' specimens.  What kind of type specimen would it be?

    • Holotype

    • Paratype

    • Isotype

    • Lectotype

    Correct Answer
    A. Lectotype
    Explanation
    An explanation for the correct answer, "Lectotype," is that a lectotype is a type specimen that is designated from a previously collected specimen, usually from a group of syntypes, to serve as the single name-bearing type specimen when the original type material is lost or destroyed. In this case, since it is mentioned that the specimen is one of Linnaeus' specimens, it implies that the original type material may no longer exist, and therefore a lectotype would be designated to serve as the reference specimen for that particular species.
