Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, 0.5-1.7 mm thick, of flat to convex, 0.2-1(-2) mm wide, pale to dark brown, smooth, shiny areoles developing on a dark hypothallus, forming up to 8(-10) cm wide orbicular patches. Cortex brown in upper part, 12-35 µm thick, with a thick epinecral layer; medulla white, I-. Apothecia lecideine, rounded, sessile and constricted at base, (0.3-)1-1.5(-3.5) mm across, with a blackish brown to black, flat to convex, epruinose disc and a thin, raised, finally sometimes excluded proper margin. Proper exciple grey, dark green or olivaceous brown in outer part, paler within; epithecium brownish, olive brown to greenish, 10-15 µm thick; hymenium colourless or olivaceous green in upper part, 50-70 µm high, I+ blue; paraphyses coherent, mostly branched, rarely anastomosing, 1.7-2.3 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells up to 3.5 µm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, approaching the Lecanora-type, but with a weakly amyloid tholus, lacking an amyloid zone above the axial body and with a thin outer amyloid wall layer. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid to oblong, (9-)12-16(-19) x (4-)4.5-6(-7) µm. Pycnidia dark, immersed. Conidia thread-like, curved, 18-26 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex K-, C-, KC-, P-; medulla K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P+ orange. Chemistry: miriquidic and stictic acids.
