Lycaena

Lycaena (a Graeco λύκαινα 'lupa') est genus papilionum cuius distributio geographica est tota orbis terrarum. Genus usitate in nonnulla subgenera, sicut Antipodolycaena, dividitur. Multa genera olim separata nunc intra hoc genus subsumuntur; genus Gaiedes quoque fortasse hic pertinere debet.
