# Polyommatus

Polyommatus Latreille, 1804, è un genere di lepidotteri appartenente alla famiglia Lycaenidae, caratterizzato dalle abitudini sociali nella loro fase di maturazione, con i bruchi che vivono in simbiosi con le formiche.
Tutte le sue specie sono state ritrovate nell'ecozona paleartica. Recenti e approfonditi studi a livello molecolare hanno dimostrato che i generi Cyaniris e Lysandra, inizialmente inclusi tra i Polyommatus, hanno differenze tali da esserne stati differenziati.
