Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, continuous to rimose-areolate, grey to grey-green, sometimes delimited by a dark prothallus. Apothecia lecideine, (0.5-)0.5-0.8(-1.2) mm across, with a flat to finally convex, usually epruinose, dark purple-brown to black, often mottled disc, and a concolorous or slightly paler, smooth, persistent or rarely excluded proper margin. Proper exciple 45-120 µm wide, without crystals or rarely with radiating clusters of crystals, brown or red-brown in upper and outer parts, pale yellow to colourless within, the pigmented parts K+ purplish; epithecium brown to black-brown, K+ purplish N+ orange-red, the pigment dissolved in the gelatinous matrix or as granules between apices of paraphyses; hymenium colourless or with brown vertical streaks, 75-115 µm high; paraphyses 0.8-1.6 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells slightly swollen to clavate, (1.2-)2-3(-4) µm wide; hypothecium colourless or pale yellow. Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall K/I-, but the thin outer gel K/I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores (2-)6-16-septate, hyaline, needle-like, straight to slightly curved, (32-)36-75(-86) x (2.5-)3-4(-4.3) µm. Pycnidia partly or entirely immersed, dark in uppermost part. Conidia simple, thread-like, curved, (5-)10-15(-17) x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or rarely K+ yellowish, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances or with traces of atranorin; epithecium, rim of proper exciple, and pycnidial wall with the Laurocerasi-brown pigment; hypothecium and inner part of proper exciple with the Rubella-orange pigment.
