Two other species, C. kovalevi Belizin, 1973 and C. masudai Abe, 1997 are described from the Eastern Palaearctic, from Far East of Russia and Japan and Korea respectively (Belizin 1973, Abe 1997). The biology of Ceroptres species is poorly known (Pujade-Villar & NievesAldrey 1993). Ceroptres clavicornis always develops in galls associated with Quercus L. species from the Lepidobalanus subgenus, section Quercus (Q. robur, Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, etc.), while C. cerri can be find in galls on Q. cerris (Lepidobalanus subgenus, section Cerris), or on evergreen oaks with circummediterranean distribution, Q. suber, Q. ilex and Q. coccifera (Lepidobalanus subgenus, sections Sclerophyllodrys and Cerris). Below, Ceroptres species, known from the Hungarian fauna are listed. Ceroptres cerri Mayr, 1872 - Synonyms - Ceroptres cerriphilus Giraud in Houard, 1911 (synonym in Pujade-Villar & Nieves-Aldrey 1993), Ceroptres vitripennis Giraud in Houard, 1911 (synonym in Pujade-Villar & Nieves-Aldrey 1993). Biology - Attacks galls of a few sexual forms of Andricus species, Aphelonyx cerricola (Giraud, 1882), Dryocostnus nervosus (Giraud, 1859), Neuroterus spp., Plagiotrochus spp. and Synophrus polit us Hartig, 1843 galls. Hosts recorded from Hungary -Andricus burgundies Giraud, 1859 [b], A. grossulariae Giraud, 1859 [b], A. multiplicatus Giraud, 1859 fb], (*) A. vindobonensis Muellner, 1901 [b], Aphelonyx cerricola, (*) Chilaspis nitida (Giraud, 1882) fa], (*) Cynips quercus (Fourcroy, 1785) [aj, Neuroterus macropterus (Hartig, 1843) [a], (*) N. minutulus Giraud, 1859 [a], N. saliens (Kollar, 1857) [b] and Synophrus politus. Distribution - Probably throughout Western Palaearctic. Known from AD, AT, ES, FR (Corsica), HU (new record), IT (with Sicily), PL, and PT. Ceroptres clavicornis Hartig, 1840 - Synonyms - Ceroptres arator Hartig, 1841, Ceroptres socialis Hartig, 1840, Ceroptres melanomerus Hartig, 1841 (synonyms in Pujade-Villar & Nieves-Aldrey 1993); Cynips clavicornis: Kaltenbach 1867; Aulax arator: Thomson 1877. Biology - Attacks some Andricus species (usually asexual forms), Callirhytis rufescens (Mayr, 1882), Cynips spp. and Neuroterus spp. Reference of Dryocostnus cerriphilus by Houard (1911) must be confirmed because this gall is associated only with Q. cerris. Hosts recorded from Hungary - (*) Andricus aries (Giraud, 1859) [a], (*) A. caputmedusae (Hartig, 1843) [a], A. conanus (Hartig, 1843) [a], A. corruptrix (Schlechtendal, 1870) (= A. ambiguus (Trotter, 1899) (synonym in Bellido, Melika & Pujade-Villar 2003, in press) [a], A. hungaricus (Hartig, 1843) [a] (according to Fahringer 1921), A. galeatus (Giraud, 1859) [a], "?A. gallaetinctoriae" [a], (*) A. glutinosus (Giraud, 1859) [a], A. gemmeus (Giraud, 1859), A. kollari (Hartig, 1843) [a], A. lignicolus(Hartig, 1840) [a], A. lucidus(Hartig, 1843) [a],(*)A. quercuscalicis (Burgsdorf, 1783) [b], Andricus quercusramuli (Linnaeus, 1761) [b],A. testaceipes Hartig, 1840 [b], (*) Neuroterus anthracinus (Curtis, 1838) [a]. Distribution - Probably throughout Western Palaearctic. Known from AD, AT, BG, DE, DK, ES, FR (with Corsica), GB, HU, IT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SE, and UA. Fahringer (1921) mentioned it for Hungary.
