The species of the subgenus Ahlbergia Bryk, 1947 of the genus Callophrys Billberg, 1820 of Russia are revised using the external characters of adults and the characters of the male and female genitalia combined with the phylogenetic analysis of the COI gene. Our analysis revealed three species present in Russia: Callophrys (Ahlbergia) confusa (Huang, Chen et Li, 2006), status promotus, C. (A.) korea (Johnson, 1992), status promotus, and C. (A.) frivaldszkyi (Lederer, 1855). The name C. (A.) inopinata (M.M. Omelko, 1995), syn. nov. is placed in synonymy with C. (A.) frivaldszkyi. An identification key for the species of the subgenus Ahlbergia of Russia is provided.
