Synonyms:

Distribution: N - TAA (S- F157559).

Description: Thallus crustose, brownish black, continuous to areolate, slightly gelatinous when wet, homoiomerous and paraplectenchymatous throughout, smooth and thin. Apothecia common, immersed, first urceolate, then with expanded, 0.2-0.3 mm across, with a brownish black disc turning reddish brown when wet, and a distinct thalline margin. Epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, I+ blue-green turning red-brown; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched in upper part. Asci 8-spored, subcylindrical, without apical amyloid structures. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, globose or subglobose, 5-10 x 5-9 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial, chroococcoid (Gloeocapsa), the cells single or clustered, surrounded by a reddish-violet gelatinous sheath. Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: no lichen substances.

Note: on steeply inclined surfaces of more or less base-rich siliceous rocks, or of calcareous rocks, with optimum in the montane belt.
