Entelopes shelfordi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was named by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1923 based on a description and illustration by Robert Walter Campbell Shelford in 1902. It is known from Borneo.[2]

Shelford wrote that this species mimicked the species Metrioidea apicalis in the family Galerucidae.[3]
