Illyrians do not appear in any of alexanders armies, either in greece of against persia.

The Macedonians would have fought against the
The Autariatae or Autariates (Ancient Greek: Αὐταριάται) were an ancient people that eventually became the most powerful Illyrian tribe.[1] Their territory was called[2] (Ancient Greek: Αὐταριατῶν χώρα). The tribe had been Celticized[3] late in their history.
The Autariatae communities unified into a single political entity during the late 6th century BC[citation needed]. They began to expand eastward into territories controlled by the Triballi. Moreover, they expanded southward where they defeated the Ardiaei, their old rivals,[5] in struggles for control over pastures and salty springs.[6] Activities of the Autariatae at the turn of the 6th and 5th centuries BC profoundly influenced the peoples who were directly affected by their expansion. The Ardiaei were moved toward the coasts and the Triballi to the east. The expansion of the Autariatae enabled them to achieve hegemonic control over one part of the interior of the Balkan Peninsula. The leading class of the Autariatae society reached the peak of its political and economic development indicated through many great luxurious royal tumuli and graves created during the 5th century BC. Strabo’s comment on the Autariatae as "the once greatest and most powerful Illyrian people" most likely refers to this period. Their peak of development was followed by the gradual decline of the Autariatae ending in 310 BC with their sudden disappearance[7] due to Celtic migrations.[8]
Appian (95 – 165) writes that the Ardiaei were destroyed[9] by the Autariatae and that in contrast to the Autariatae had maritime power. The ancient geographer, Strabo, lists the Autariatae as one of the three strongest tribes - the other two being the Ardiaei and the Dardanii.
The Autariatae and the Celtic Scordisci are thought to have merged into one tribe in the Lower Morava valley, after 313 BC, since excavations show that the two groups made burials at the same exact grave field in Pecine, near Kostolac.[10] Nine graves of Autariatae dating to 4th century BC and scattered Autariatae and Celtic graves around these earlier graves show that the two groups mixed rather than made war[11] and this resulted in the lower Morava valley becoming a Celto-Thraco-Illyrian interaction zone.[12]

The Ardiaei (Ancient Greek: Ἀρδιαῖοι or Οὐαρδαῖοι, Ouardiaei; Latin: Vardiaei)[1] were an Illyrian tribe, residing inland,[2] that eventually settled[3] on the Adriatic coast of the Balkan Peninsula with Scodra as the capital. Polybius (203 BC–120 BC) writes that they were subdued[4] by the Romans at events that occurred at 229 BC. Appian (95–165) writes that they were destroyed[5] by the Autariatae and that in contrast to the Autariatae had maritime power. In the Epitome of Livy they are said to have been subdued[6] by the consul Fulvius Flaccus.
They were located in present-day Montenegro,[7] most likely around the gulf of Rhizon,[8] although Strabo places them in the right bank of the Neretva.[9] Their initial inland residence was located along the Naro River up to the Konjic region,[2] in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
these 3 tribes would be placed on modern maps as
Autariatae = Bosnia
Ardiaei = Montenegro
Dardanii = Kosovo
