This paper reports the rediscovery of the type specimens (holotype and paratype) of Strix aluco volhyniaeDunajewski, 1948, a junior synonym of Strix aluco aluco Linnaeus, 1758. Previously thought to have been destroyed during the Second World War, the types were found in the collection of the Museum and Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Additionally, this paper provides support for the availability of the name Strix aluco volhyniae, which was initially proposed as a new race.
