Frenatae is the organization of graduate students in the Entomology Department of the University of Minnesota. It's purposes are to represent graduate students to academic and professional bodies and to collect and disseminate information relevant for students.

Frenatae is named after a suborder of Lepidoptera that was proposed by Comstock at the end of the 19th Century. His division was based on the way the fore and hind wings were connected, in the case of Frenatae, by a frenulum.

Frenatae is composed of all University of Minnesota entomology graduate students, and is a registered student group at the University of Minnesota.

At the start of every academic year, Frenatae elects officers and representatives to the College of Graduate Students and the Entomology Department Voting Staff.
