Polyommatus is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Its species are found in the Palearctic realm.
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.
Colias is a genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae. They are often called clouded yellows; the North American name "sulphurs" is elsewhere used for Coliadinae in general. The closest living relative is the genus Zerene, which is sometimes included in Colias.
