Syntelia is a genus of middle-sized beetles described by John O. Westwood in 1864. It is the only genus in the family Synteliidae erected by George Lewis in 1882.

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. A fossil species, Syntelia sunwukong, is known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar.[3]
