Description: Thallus squamulose to subcrustose, episubstratic, forming up to 1-2 cm wide patches, without a distinct prothallus, the squamules/areoles contiguous, 0.5-1 mm wide, usually convex, matt to shiny, epruinose, chestnut brown to rarely grey-brown, smooth. Cortex of anticlinally arranged, cellular hyphae, the terminal cells swollen, with brown caps, with a thin epinecral layer; medulla white, lacking calcium oxalate crystals, I-. Apothecia lecideine, black, 0.3-1 mm across, with an initially flat, then convex disc and a thin, finally excluded proper margin. Proper exciple narrow, poorly differentiated, Aethalea-type, the outer hyphae parallel, moderately swollen and usually strongly carbonized, the inner part paler; epithecium olive-brown to almost black; hymenium colourless, 50-80 µm high, not inspersed with oil droplets, K/I+ blue; paraphyses easily made free, simple to sparingly branched in upper part, 1.5-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 3-5 µm wide, with a dark brown cap; hypothecium deep reddish brown. Asci 8-spored, with a very thin or even indistinct amyloid layer above the axial body, which is conical with converging flanks (intermediate between the Bacidia and the Lecanora types). Ascospores 1-septate, not constricted at septum, brown, oblong to ellipsoid with obtuse ends, 10-15(-17) x (5-)6-8(-8.5) µm, the septum narrow, not thickening during spore ontogeny, the internal walls of uniform thickness, smooth but the outer wall weakly ornamented in old spores. Pycnidia rare, urceolate to globose, unilocular, the walls with short, conidiophores, the conidiogenous cells terminal. Conidia simple, hyaline, short-bacilliform, 4-5 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
