Synonyms: Oxnerella castanomelodes (H. Mayrhofer & Poelt) S.Y. Kondr., Lőkös & Hur; Rinodina bischoffii var. castanomelodes (H. Mayrhofer & Poelt) Giralt & Llimona; Rinodina orcularia H. Mayrhofer & Poelt
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick, grey-brown to dark brown (damaged specimens often paler), rimose-areolate, sometimes reduced to a few warts surrounding the apothecia; areoles convex, the peripheral ones subsquamulose, ecorticate, with an epinecral layer. Apothecia lecanorine, 0.3-0.6 mm across, at first slightly immersed, then subsessile, often crowded and deformed by mutual compression, with a concave to slightly convex, black disc, a thick thalline margin, and a usually visible parathecial ring. Epithecium dark brown, K-; hymenium colourless, inspersed with oil droplets, 100-120 µm high; paraphyses 2-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells swollen, 6-8 µm wide; hypothecium colourless, up to 150 µm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, pigmented, ellipsoid, (16-)18-20(-21) x (9.5-)11-12(-13) µm, Bischoffii-type, with a broad pigmented band around septum, the torus not developed, the ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation). Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
