Eulimellinae is a subfamily of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.

This is one of eleven recognised subfamilies of the Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg, 1997). In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily Cingulininae has been downgraded to the rank of tribe Eulimellini Saurin, 1958 and belonging to the subfamily Turbonillinae.

According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999) there are 17 genera in the Eulimellinae.

Problematic genera within the family Turbonillidae

The following genera are currently difficult to place within the family Turbonillidae (= Cingulininae + Eulimellinae + Turbonillinae)
* "Atomiscala" DeBoury, 1909
* "Hamarilla" Eames & Wilkins, 1957
* "Pseudographis" Mifsud, 1998
* "Rissopsetia" Dell, 1956

The genus "Ebala" was previously placed in the Eulimellinae but is now placed in the family Ebalidae Warén, 1994 =Anisocyclidae van Aartsen, 1995
