Pyrenopsis subareolata Nyl.
Lich. Scand., 1: 27, 1861.
Synonyms: Cryptothele rhodosticta auct. non (Taylor) Henssen; Pyrenopsis fuscatula Nyl.; Pyrenopsis rhodosticta auct. non (Taylor) Müll. Arg.; Pyrenopsis rocaltensis Couderc
Description: Thallus crustose-areolate, slightly gelatinous when wet, homoiomerous and paraplectenchymatous throughout, dark reddish brown to brownish black, red-brown when wet, to 0.1 mm thick, continuous to areolate, the areoles up to 0.8 mm wide, flat to slightly convex, usually smooth (but sometimes granulose at margins). Apothecia pycnoascocarps, immersed, 1(-2-3) per areole, perithecioid, 0.2-0.4 mm across, with a pore-like disc and a distinct thalline margin. Proper exciple very poorly developed; epithecium colourless to brownish; hymenium colourless, 85-100 µm high, I+ blue-green turning red-brown; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched in upper part. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate, unitunicate-rostrate, with a distinct K/I+ blue apical dome and distinct outer gelatinous cap. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid, 9-15(-18) x 6-9(-11) µm. Pycnidia immersed, pyriform. Conidia ellipsoid, c. 3 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial, chroococcoid (Gloeocapsa), the cells single or clustered, surrounded by reddish-violet gelatinous sheaths, 7-10 µm wide (incl. sheaths). Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
