Synonyms: Lecidea inserena f. subplumbea (Anzi) Arnold; Lecidea inserena Nyl.; Lecidea tumidior (Nyl.) Vain.; Lecidella subplumbea (Anzi) Arnold; Miriquidica griseoatra auct.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, lead grey to dark grey, matt, areolate, usually rather thick, forming up to several cm wide patches, the areoles up to 1.5 mm wide, flat to slightly convex. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia lecideine, black, 0.5-1.2 mm across, subsessile, laterally attached to the areoles, with a flat to finally convex disc and a thin, finally excluded proper margin. Proper exciple blue-green to olive-brown in outer part, brownish to almost colourless within; epithecium olive-green to greenish brown, 10-15 µm high; hymenium colourless, 55-65 µm high. I+ blue; paraphyses mostly simple 1.5-2 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells up to 4 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, 10-13 x 5-6(-7) µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: miriquidic acid.
