Syntelia is a genus of middle-sized beetles, the only genus in the family Synteliidae.

The characteristics of the family and genus include geniculate antennae with 3-segmented club, elongate body, narrowly separated coxae and tarsi with bisetose empodia. Only one abdominal segment is exposed behind elytra.[1] There are seven known species, spread in central Mexico and Asia.[2] They feed on insect larvae.
