Afarsia is a Palearctic genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.It has been synonymized with Albulina by some authors, but studies on the molecular phylogenetics of Polyommatini have led to its treatment as an independent genus, which appears as the sister group of the genus Kretania sensu lato, with weak support.
