Lichenogr. Univ.: 247, 1810.
Synonyms: Opegrapha lithyrgodes Nyl. ex Leight.
Description: Thallus crustose, thin and poorly developed, smooth and film-like or rarely granular, grey, olive-brown, grey-brown, rarely rusty brown. Apothecia lirelliform, black, solitary or in small clusters, round, ellipsoid or more commonly sinuous-elongate, simple or sometimes branched, (0.1-)0.5-1.5(-2) x (0.07-)0.1-0.2(-0.25) mm, 50-80 µm tall, with a slit-like, epruinose disc, and a thick, persistent, epruinose proper margin. Proper exciple black, carbonized, continuous below the hypothecium, 13-18 μm thick laterally and 40-60 μm at the base, K+ greenish; epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, 60-80 μm high, I+ reddish; paraphysoids branched and anastomosing, c. 1 μm thick, the apical cells hardly swollen; subhymenium grey-brown, I+ reddish. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, the inner layer of the endoascus amyloid throughout, the apical ring hardly visible (Vulgata-type), 40-60 x 15-18 µm. Ascospores 5-7-septate, hyaline, fusiform, straight or slightly curved, 20-35 x (2.5-)3-5 μm, with a 1-1.5 μm thick, gelatinous perispore. Pycnidia black, very small, sunken in thallus. Conidia straight, bacilliform and 3-5 x c. 1 μm, or filiform, curved, and 10-14 x c. 0.5 μm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
