Bagl. ex A. Massal., Misc. Lichenol.: 26, 1855.
Synonyms: Pertusaria aspicilioides Samp.; Pertusaria chiodectonoides var. inquinata (Ach.) Poelt; Pertusaria inquinata (Ach.) Th. Fr.; Pertusaria inquinata f. nolens (Nyl.) Boistel; Pertusaria nolens Nyl.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, usually <1 mm thick, rimose-areolate, pale to dark grey, without a distinct prothallus, the fertile areoles flat to slightly convex, irregular in outline, 0.3-1(-1.5) mm wide, slightly constricted at base. Apothecia lecanorine, immersed in the areoles, 1-3(-8) per areole, 0.4-0.6 mm across, often angular, linear or deformed, sometimes confluent, with a black, often grey-pruinose disc and a thin, irregular, not or only slightly raised thalline margin. Epithecium dark brown to blackish brown, K+ deep violet; hymenium colourless; paraphyses richly branched; hypothecium colourless or yellowish. 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-. Chemistry: stictic acid (major), constictic and norstictic acids (both minor or traces).
