Atelurinae is a subfamily of primitive insects belonging to the order Zygentoma.

Once considered an independent family, it is now treated as a subfamily within the Nicoletiidae.

They are generally found in association with ants or termites, living as inquilines in the hosts' nests.

They are typically small, tear-drop or sub-ovoid in body shape, light yellow in color and lacking eyes.
