Rinodina trachytica (A. Massal.) Bagl. & Carestia

Atti Soc. Critt. Ital., 2: 209, 1880. Basionym: Mischoblastia lecanorina var. trachytica A. Massal. - Ric. Auton. Lich. Crost.: 41, 1852.
Synonyms: Lecanora confragosa var. immersoareolata Harm.; Rinodina confragosa var. immersoareolata (Harm.) Zahlbr.; Rinodina iberica H. Mayrhofer; Rinodina subtrachytica J. Steiner
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, white to pale grey, areolate, sometimes slightly white-pruinose, often delimited by a dark prothallus, the areoles discrete to usually contiguous, more or less angular, flat to slightly convex. Cortex formed by hyphae running perpendicularly to the surface, often with a blue-green pigment reacting N+ reddish; medulla white, non-amyloid. Apothecia lecanorine to cryptolecanorine, at first immersed, then subsessile, the mature ones often surrounded by crescent-shaped areoles, (0.2-)0.3-0.6(-0.8) mm across, with a dark brown to black, epruinose, flat to slightly convex disc and a thin, more or less persistent thalline margin. Proper exciple poorly developed; epithecium 10-20 μm thick, brown to blue green and then N+ red; hymenium colourless, 60-80 μm high, I+ blue; paraphyses mostly simple, 1.5-2.5 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 4-8 μm wide. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate to 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, pale brown, ellipsoid (14-)16-20(-23) x (7.5-)8-10(-12) μm, Mischoblastia-type, becoming more or less Pachysporaria-type when overmature, swelling at septum in K, the torus developed, the wall warted, the ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation). Pycnidia black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 3-5 x 0.8-1.4 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ faintly yellow, C+ faintly yellow, P+ faintly yellow, often N+ reddish, UV+ very faintly orange. Chemistry: atranorin, 2'-0-methylsuperperlatolic acid, 2'-0-methylisohyperlatolic / 2'-0-methylhyperlatolic acids, 2'-0-methylperlatolic acid and ±confluentic and hyperconfluentic acids.
