Doubtful Polyommatini
Several genera of Polyommatinae have been allied with Polyommatini, especially Polyommatus. Their placement in the present tribe requires confirmation however:
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 (if these are treated in the inclusive circumscription).
