More Florida Lichens: 63, 1995. Basionym: Arthopyrenia saxicola A. Massal. - Symmicta Lich.: 107, 1855.
Synonyms: Leiophloea saxicola (A. Massal.) Riedl; Naetrocymbe massalongiana (Hepp) R.C. Harris; Pyrenocollema saxicola (A. Massal.) Coppins; Sagedia massalongiana Hepp; Spermatodium saxicola (A. Massal.) Trevis.
Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic or thinly episubstratic, brownish to pinkish grey, often minutely mottled, becoming almost black when wet, lichenized. Perithecia black, 0.1-0.2 mm across, globose, half to almost completely immersed in pits in the rock, the apex convex or somewhat flattened. Upper part of exciple strongly thickened, composed of dark brown, very thick-walled cells; involucrellum hardly distinguishable from the thickened upper part of exciple; hamathecium of irregular, richly branched and anastmosing, very thin-walled, 2-2.5 µm thick, finally gelatinized pseudoparaphyses. Asci 8-spored, obpyriform, fissitunicate, with two functional wall layers, with a distinctive apical region lacking a nasse, I-, containing biseriately arranged spores, (49-)75-100 x (11.5-)18-25 µm. Ascospores 1-septate, slightly constricted at septum, hyaline, cylindrical-ellipsoid to slightly clavate, 18-24(-28) x 4-5(-8) µm, the upper cell only slightly broader than the other, surrounded by a thin perispore; overmature spores turning brown, finely rugulose, sometimes thinly 3-septate. Pycnidia frequent, black, half-immersed, with a rather large ostiole. Conidia simple, hyaline, bacilliform, 4-5 x 0.5-1.2 µm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
