ward scutellar foveae. Scutum 1.1-1.2 times as long as broad in dorsal view (largest width measured across scutum on the level of the base of tegulae); from the level of tegulae narrowing towards the posterior end; notauli complete, shallow and narrow but distinctly impressed, reaching the pronotum; anterior parallel lines distinct and reach 1/3 length of scutum; parapsidal lines distinct but narrow, start apart from the posterior margin of scutum and extend 2/3 length of scutum; median scutellar line absent or scarcely traceable in the form of a very shallow impressed longitudinal area in the sculpturing; scutum laterally with narrow carina, reaching tegula (Fig. 35). Scutellum 1.8 times as short as scutum, slightly elongated, 1.2 times as long as broad in dorsal view, slightly overhanging metanotum, scutellar foveae transversely ovate, extended nearly to 1/4 of scutellum length, with shiny and very delicately coriaceous bottom, separated by a distinct central carina; foveae posteriorly and medially are not limited by strong carinae (Fig. 36). Scutellum posteriorly with distinct impressed quadrangular area, with more delicate sculpture than the rest of scutellum (visible in dorso-posterior view on Fig. 37). Mesopleuron uniformly delicately coriaceous, with very dense white setae, acetabular carina narrow laterally, at least 3.0-3.5 times narrower than the width of impressed carinate ventro-lateral edge of pronotum; dorso-axillar area delicately coriaceous, lateral axillar area rugose, with parallel horizontal striae; axillula black, delicately uniformly coriaceous, with very dense white setae, subaxillular bar light brown, smooth, shiny, ending in a strong long postalar process; metapleural sulcus reach mesopleuron slightly higher than the half of its height. Dorsellum light brown, uniformly delicately coriaceous, metanotal trough black, smooth, shiny, with dense white setae; ventral impressed area of dorsellum black, shiny, with distinct longitudinal tiny carinae; median (central) propodcal area black, shiny, with very delicate wrinkles and rugae, dense white setae only on the uniformly thin lateral subparallel propodeal carinae in the anterior half (showed on the right side of Fig. 37); lateral propodeal area with very dense white setae. Forewing longer than body, hyaline, with very short dense cilia on margin, radial cell 4.6-4.7 times as long as broad; Rl nearly straight, not reaching wing margin; Rs straight, nearly reaching wing margin, areolet large, triangular, closed and distinct (Fig. 38). Foretibia with uniformly located short setae, as in all species of the "kollari-group"; foretarsomeres 1 to 5 ratio as follows: 1.0:0.4:0. 3:0.2:0.6 (Fig. 33); tarsal claw with strong basal lobe (Fig. 34). Metasoma slightly longer than head+mesosoma; all tergites with dense band of white setae, on metasomal tergite 2 setae absent dorsally, subsequent tergites with white setae dorsally also; all tergites, except tergite 2, with very delicate, minute micropunctures, hardly visible in between dense setae; tergite 2 occupy nearly half length of metasoma in dorsal view. Ventral spine of hypopygium slender, long, prominent part 5.7-5.8 times as long as broad, with sparse, long white setae, but even the most apical setae do not extend beyond the apex of the hypopygium (Figs 39-40). Gall (Figs 41^-6). A semiglobular, flowerpot-shaped, slightly elongated monolocular gall (5-8 mm in diameter, 10-12 mm in length), developing in a terminal or lateral bud on Q. infectoria, green when young, later turning greenish-pale or earth-coloured and grayish green to brown when mature, with protuberances or ridges covering its surface, and which usually form a crown around the top of the gall. Large central larval chamber with very hard walls, inseparable from the gall parenchyma. The characteristic feature of the mature gall, as in A infectorius, is the extreme hardness of the gall tissue, making it very difficult to cut. Diagnosis - Belongs to the kollari species group or clade of Andricus HARTIG, 1840 (ROKAS, MELIKA et al. 2003, STONE & COOK 1998, BELLIDO et al. 2003). Within this group of species, the following morphological peculiarities link Andricus moreae most closely to Andricus infectorius (HARTIG, 1843) and A. sternlichti BELLIDO, PUJADE-VlLLAR et MELIKA, 2003: short, relatively sparse
