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" and "Prosotas" are sometimes placed here, but might belong elsewhere in the Polyommatinae or even in the Lycaeninae.
