Gaeides Dione
''Lycaena dione'', the grey copper or great copper, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. The species was first described by Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1868. It is found from the southern Prairie provinces of Canada and western Ontario south to Texas and east to Illinois and Missouri. There is a disjunct population in southern British Columbia. A remnant population was found in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, as of the summer of 2004. The wingspan is 24–38 mm. Adults are on wing from mid-June to July or August. They feed on the nectar of '' Cirsium'', '' Medicago sativa'', ''Grindelia'' species and '' Melilotus'' species. The larval host plants are ''Rumex salicifolius,'' ''Rumex crispus'' and ''Rumex occidentalis''. Taxonomy ''Lycaena dione'' is sometimes treated as a subspecies of '' Lycaena xanthoides''.

Lycaeninae
Lycaeninae, the coppers, are a subfamily of the gossamer-winged butterflies (Lycaenidae). The relationships of the Lycaenidae are not fully resolved. Sometimes the Polyommatinae and Theclinae are included in the Lycaeninae; in particular the Theclinae tribe Eumaeini contains many similar taxa. Consequently, the delimitation of the Lycaeninae is by no means definitely resolved; many genera await conformation of placement. Regardless, it is today generally considered better to restrict the Lycaeninae to the immediate relatives of the type genus ''Lycaena'', and one or two clades close to that group.Brower (2008) Taxonomy The Lycaeninae ''sensu stricto'' can be divided into two tribes: *Heliophorini ** '' Heliophorus'' – sapphires ** '' Iophanus'' ** '' Melanolycaena'' *Lycaenini ** '' Athamanthia'' ** '' Gaeides'' (often included in ''Lycaena'') ** '' Hyrcanana'' ** ''Lycaena'' – typical coppers ** '' Phoenicurusia'' A few genera included in the Lycaeninae in the mo ...
