Tonks here:

I don't remember where in the books this happens. But as I 
understand it a Warlock is a male witch. The term Wizard is the 
highest level.. warlocks and witches are beginners. Rowlings 
confuses the issue by linking witches with wizards.  Probably 
because it is too hard to explain it all.
