'''''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.<ref name =Nastasi>{{Cite journal |last1=Nastasi |first1=Louis F. |last2=Smith |first2=Cecil N. |last3=Davis |first3=Charles K. |last4=Ward |first4=Anna K.G. |last5=Brown |first5=Guerin |last6=Zhang |first6=Y.
