Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, areolate, brown to dark brown, almost black in sun-forms, epruinose, rarely delimited by a brown prothallus, often covering relatively large surfaces, the areoles contiguous, subangular, flat, 0.2-0.8 mm wide. Cortex brown in upper part, colourless in lower part, formed of anticlinally arranged hyphae; medulla white, I-. Apothecia lecanorine or cryptolecanorine, sessile, (0.5-)0.8-1(-1.5) mm across, with a flat to convex, dark brown to black, epruinose disc, a thin, smooth, finally rarely excluded thalline margin, and sometimes a thin parathecial ring within the thalline margin. Proper exciple of radiating hyphae; epithecium reddish brown, K-; hymenium colourless, sometimes with oil droplets, up to100 μm high, K/I+ blue; paraphyses branched in upper part, c. 1.2 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 3-5 μm wide, with a thin internal cap of brown pigment; hypothecium colourless. 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, pale brown, ellipsoid but often slightly constricted at septum, thin-walled throughout, 13-20 x 5-7 μm, Rinodinella-type, the septum very thin (1 μm or less), with ontogeny of type A. Pycnidia immersed, the wall colourless. Conidia bacilliform to narrowly ellipsoid, 4-5 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
