''Agriades'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Its species are found in temperate Asia, Europe, and North America. Taxonomy As a result of studies of molecular phylogenetics, ''Agriades'' has been enlarged to include some of the species that used to be placed in ''Albulina'' (see the ''orbitulus'' species-group below) and in ''Vacciniina'' (see the ''optilete'' species-group). In some earlier classifications, these three genera used to be included in ''Plebejus''.
