Distribution: N - Piem (TSB 34087).

Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic, inapparent. Apothecia lecideine, circular in outline, 0.2-0.5 mm across, at first immersed, then sessile, with a black, epruinose disc and an undulate, raised, incised proper margin. Proper exciple black and carbonized in outer part, paler within, not extending below the hymenium; epithecium brown-black; hymenium colourless, 50-60 μm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched in upper part, 1-2 µm thick, capitate; hypothecium pale. Asci >100-spored, cylindrical-clavate, strongly thickened at apex, the apical dome K/I-, the outer coat K/I+ blue. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, 4-5 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
