Polyommatus is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Its species are found in the Palearctic realm.
Taxonomy
Recent molecular studies have demonstrated that Cyaniris, Lysandra, and Neolysandra are different genera from Polyommatus, where they had been included, sometimes as subgenera.
Some authors still recognize other subgenera, such as Agrodiaetus, Bryna, Meleageria, and Plebicula.
