Description: Thallus crustose, up to 3 mm thick, areolate, pale to dark grey or rarely grey-brown, the areoles 0.6-1,5 mm wide, flat to subconvex, smooth, often with brown margins, without a distinct prothallus. Apothecia cryptolecanorine to rarely lecanorine, 0.5-1 mm across, immersed and appaering aspicilioid to subsessile, usually more than one per areole, with a dark brown to black, flat to weakly convex disc and a persistent thalline margin level with thallus. Epithecium reddish brown, 15-30 µm high K-; hymenium colourless, 80-120 µm high, not inspersed with oil droplets; paraphyses c. 1.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells up to 6 µm wide; 80-150 µm high, colourless to pale yellow-brown. 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, brown, 13-20 x 7.5-12 µm, Bicincta-type, with a heavily pigmented band around each lumen, without a torus, the ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation). Pycnidia black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 4-6 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: zeorin.
