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]
