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 22 species currently recognized are in Ceroptres. [2] 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] Species in this tribe are believed to be inquilines in galls induced by other gall wasps but this has not been confirmed. [1] [2]
