Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic and poorly evident. Apothecia lecanorine, sessile, 0.4-1.2(-1.5) mm across, with a pale brown to black, but densely bluish-pruinose, smooth, mostly flat disc and an entire, smooth, white-pruinose thalline margin. Thalline exciple 80-190 μm wide, corticate, the cortex 16-20 μm thick laterally, 60-100 μm thick at base, with granules visible under polarized light, which are insoluble in K but soluble in N; proper exciple very thin or indistinct; epithecium yellowish or pale brown, with the same granules as the apothecial cortex and sometimes with larger granules soluble in K but insoluble in N; hymenium colourless, 50–65 μm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched, slightly expanded at tips, more or less free in K; subhymenium distinct, granular; hypothecium colourless, 40-50 μm high, of adglutinated hyphae. Asci 8-spored, elongate-clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid to narrowly ellipsoid, 9-14 x 4.5-6 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances or sometimes with traces of an unknown compound.
