The Key to Scientific Names
Sure named here A. M. Kobylin. No idea when Кобылин Александр Михайлович was born. I am even not sure from where his death derived.
So I am bound to conclude that the differences are not individual, but shew geographical variation, and I name this slight variety after Mr. Kobylin - who collected the specimens recorded-Enneoctonus kobylini.
