Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, at first discontinuous and consisting of small warts, then continuously areolate, whitish, grey-brown or reddish-brown, matt, without a clear prothallus. Apothecia lecanorine, sparse, adnate to sessile, 0.2-0.4(-0.6) mm across, with a brown to brow-black, flat to slightly convex disc, and a thick, entire to flexuose, persistent thalline margin. Thalline exciple corticate, the cortex 5-10 μm thick, I+ faintly blue (reaction often difficult to observe); epithecium reddish brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 60-80 μm high; paraphyses branched in upper part, the apical cells swollen, 3.5-5.5 μm wide; hypothecium colourless, 50-80 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, not constricted at septum, brown, ellipsoid, (10-)12-15(-17) x (6.5-)7.5−8(-9) μm, Physconia-type, with a well-developed, dark torus and a relatively prolonged Physcia-type stage, the wall smooth to minutely warted, with an ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation).
