Ceroptresini is a tribe of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae, and includes two genera: Ceroptres and Buffingtonella . [1] [2] All but one of the 44 species currently recognized are in Ceroptres. [2] [3] Ceroptresini, containing only Ceroptres, was first proposed as a tribe in 2015, [1] and Buffingtonella was included the tribe in 2019 when the genus was first described. [2] Most known species in this tribe are inquilines in galls induced by other gall wasps, but some have been reared from gall midge galls. [1] [2] [3]
