[edit] Doubtful Polyommatini
Several genera of Polyommatinae have been allied with Polyommatini, especially Polyommatus. Their placement in the present tribe requires confirmation however.
- Agriades
- Albulina
- Aricia
- Chilades
- Epimastidia
- Harpendyreus
- Neopithecops
- Orachrysops
- Palaeophilotes
- Pistoria
- Praephilotes
- Pseudonacaduba
- Pseudophilotes
- Sinocupido
- Subsolanoides
- Tuxentius
Other such doubtful Polyommatini may even be more distant altogether. Lepidochrysops, Paralycaeides, Prosotas and Zizina are sometimes placed here, but might belong elsewhere in the Polyommatinae or even in the Lycaeninae.
