Asci 8-spored, broadly cylindrical, the apex with a broad ocular chamber, the outer sheath K/I+ blue, otherwise K/I-, with an inner extensible layer, Pertusaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid to fusiform, (20-)25-40(-50) x 10-25 µm, the wall smooth, 1-layered, (2-)3-5 µm thick. Pycnidia immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 7-10 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ (sometimes faintly) yellow, C-, KC- or KC+ pale yellow, P- or P+ orange-red, UV-.
