The
Entelegynae or
entelegynes are a subgroup of
araneomorph spiders, one of the two main groups into which the araneomorphs are divided. Almost all members of this group, unlike most members of
Haplogynae (the other main group), have eight eyes, and females have a genital plate. However, some entelegyne species have no (or reduced) eyes, and
six-eyed spiders do occur, for example in the genus
Lygromma (
Prodidomidae, Gnaphosoidea).
