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]
