Haplogynae

The Haplogynae or haplogynes are one of the two main groups into which araneomorph spiders have traditionally been divided, the other being the Entelegynae.

Unlike the Entelegynae, haplogynes lack hardened (sclerotized) female genitalia (epigynes).

[6] Hypochilidae Filistatidae remaining Haplogynae Leptonetidae Entelegynae In 2016, a large molecular phylogenetic study was published online that included 932 spider species, representing all but one of the then known families.

It "refutes important higher-level groups",[5] including Paleocribellatae, Neocribellatae, Araneoclada and Haplogynae.

In the preferred cladogram, the "Haplogynae" are divided among a number of clades basal to the Entelegynae, forming at most a grade.
