Ceroptres
Genus of insects
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ceroptres is a genus of gall wasp. Most of its species are found in North America, and most are inquilines, meaning it oviposits its eggs in a host gall. These host galls are mostly induced by other gall wasps, but some species of Ceroptres use the galls of gall midges.[1]
