Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic or most commonly thinly hemiendosubstratic, and then consisting of scattered, 1-2 mm wide, whitish to beige areoles. Upper cortex poorly defined; algal layer very thin. Perithecia black, 1-3 per areole, 0.3-0.5 mm across, not covered by thallus, hemispherically projecting, the base leaving shallow pits in the rock. Involucrellum reaching to base-level, laterally 80-120 µm thick, becoming thicker (-150 µm) in lower part; exciple subglobose, 0.25-0.3 mm across, the wall dark throughout; hamathecium of 25-35 µm long periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid, I+ red (I+ blue at very low concentrations of I), K/I+ blue. Asci 8-spored, 75-90 × 25-30 µm, clavate, I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of an endotunica to form a delicate rostrum, Verrucaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 25-33 x 11-13 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
