The Entelegynae or entelegynes are a subgroup of araneomorph spiders, one of the two main groups into which the araneomorphs were traditionally divided. (The other traditional subgroup, Haplogynae, has been shown not to be monophyletic.) Almost all members of this 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).
