Centuria Insectorum (Latin, "one hundred insects") is a 1763 taxonomic work by Carl Linnaeus, and defended as a thesis by Boas Johansson; which of the two men should for taxonomic purposes be credited with its authorship has been the subject of some controversy. It includes descriptions of 102 new insect and crustacean species that had been sent to Linnaeus from British America, Suriname, Java and other locations. Most of the new names included in Centuria Insectorum are still in use, although a few have been sunk into synonymy, and one was the result of a hoax: a common brimstone butterfly with spots painted on was described as the new "species" Papilio ecclipsis.

  • Centuria insectorum (en français Cent insectes) est une œuvre de taxinomie du naturaliste suédois Carl von Linné (1707-1778) soutenue comme thèse par son élève Boas Johansson en 1763. L'attribution de la paternité réelle de l'œuvre à l'un ou l'autre des deux hommes a fait l'objet de discussions. L'ouvrage comporte la description de 102 nouvelles espèces d'insectes et de crustacés dont les spécimens ont été envoyés à Linné depuis l'Amérique du Nord, le Suriname et Java, entre autres. La plupart des noms d'espèces donnés par Linné sont encore en usage aujourd'hui, quelques-uns ont été rapprochés de synonymes et l'un est le résultat d'un canular, un spécimen commun de Citron aux ailes peintes, décrit comme la nouvelle espèce Papilio ecclipsis.
