Diagnosis.
Pronotum tall and broad dorsomedially. Pronotal submedial pits distinct and well-impressed. Pronotal plate present and complete. Mesoscutellar foveae distinct. Fore wing with marginal cell closed. Metatarsal claws with basal lobe. Metasoma with syntergite, with third tergite greatly enlarged and occupying most of metasoma and with second tergite reduced but free and articulating. First metasomal tergite usually more or less concealed between mesosoma and metasoma and without conspicuous sculpture (more visible and conspicuously striate in some taxa easily confused with Ceroptres ). Body generally weakly sculptured.
Note.
Ceroptresini includes 19 North American species: 18 species of Ceroptres Hartig and Buffingtonella polita (Ashmead, 1896) ( Nastasi and Deans 2021).
