Description: Thallus crustose, continuous to finely cracked, white, pale grey or brownish, dull, often delimited by a dark prothallus. Apothecia lirelliform, black, raised, oblong to linear, more or less flexuose and often with several parallel branches, rounded at ends, 2-10 x 0.2-0.4 mm, with a slit-like, epruinose disc hidden by a well-developed, 15-40 µm thick exciple with entire lips; pseudothalline margin often present. Proper exciple black, carbonized laterally, poorly developed and not carbonized at base; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets, 90-100 µm high; paraphyses simple, dense, 1.5-2 µm thick, with brownish tips; subhymenium colourless. Asci (6-)8-spored, clavate or cylindrical-clavate, non fissitunicate, dehiscent by an apical split, K/I-, Graphis-type. Ascospores: (5-)7-10(-13)-septate with lens-shaped lumina, hyaline, fusiform-cylindrical, 20-63 x 5-12 µm, I+ blue-violet. Pycnidia rare, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 2-5 x 1 µm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a widespread temperate to southern boreal-montane lichen found on smooth bark, mostly in deciduous forests, in humid areas also on twigs and branches, but normally on trunks, in drier areas restricted to the base of the boles. In a narrow sense the taxon is characterised by apothecia with more or less hidden disc, and a thin (<= 0.1 mm) to absent thalline margin. The species is treated here in a broad sense (see comment on the genus).
