Hi Vasily,

There is a digitisation of Savigny, 1822 at http://descegy.bibalex.org/
The interface is not a simple pdf, or pleasant to use, but it seems to work. I don't think one can select and copy text from it though.

I checked quickly using the above, and as indicated in Index Animalium, and in Nomenclator Zoologicus, the name Aonis appears on page 45 of Savigny's "Egypte, 1 (3)", and is associated with the species Nereis caeca Fabricius, apparently now in Nephtys. 

On the other hand Audouin & Milne Edwards, 1833 later introduce Aonis fully for Aonis foliosa, and cite Savigny in the footnote. Hartman Cat. places this name in the spionids of course.

Whereas  Blainville (is it 1816?) uses the name Aonia, author Savigny, for Aonia caeca

http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/name/Aonia#487

Make of that what you will.  Please let me know what you conclude. But hopefully it will not disturb stability of existing nomenclature :-)

Best,

Geoff
