Ega to mean some larger area?
This is a shot in the dark, but I'm confused about something. Nineteenth-century descriptions of plants or animals may say that the species is known from "Ega". Usually when they say that, they are not referring to a small place like a city, but to a country or state. Was Ega once used to refer to some larger geographical unit?
