	According to 'The Scientific Names of British Lepidoptera' by A. Maitland Emmett, Parage was coined by Hubner in 1819 from the Greek 'Para' meaning 'close to' and 'Arge' from 'White' - apparently from the relationship with the Marbled White. Aegeria was named after Egeria, one of the Camenae, prophetic Nymphs resident in ancient Italy. brian@secalis.com> via UK-Leps
