Description: Thallus crustose, inconspicuous, or visible as a pale brown patch on the bark, non-lichenized. Perithecia black, circular or ellipsoid in outline, 0.25-0.5 x 0.2-0.4 mm. Involucrellum dimidiate, brown both in water and in K, of compacted hyphae and bark cells; exciple thin, usually colourless, surrounding the centrum; pseudoparaphyses short- and broad-celled, 1-1.5 μm thick, richly branched, not moniliform, the cells 6-12 μm long; downwardly projecting periphysoids present near the ostiole. Asci 8-spored, obpyriform, fissitunicate, with two functional wall layers, with a distinctive apical region lacking a nasse, 60-90(-100) x 13-25 μm. Ascospores 1(-3)-septate, with more or less unequal cells, more or less constricted at septa, the apices rounded, (17-)19-26 x (4.5-)5-7 μm, with a distinct, 1-1.5 μm thick (in K) gelatinous perispore. Pycnidia black, c. 0.1 mm across. Conidia hyaline, bacilliform, 4-6 x c. 0.8 μm. Photobiont absent. Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.Note: a mild-temperate species found on smooth bark of (mostly) deciduous trees; most probably non-lichenised.
