Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, subgelatinous when wet, cracked-areolate, well-delimited, brown-black to black when dry, dark brownish green when wet, epruinose, the areoles smooth, flat to convex, not blastidiate at margin. Cortex paraplectenchymatous; algal cells arranged in more or less vertical columns; medulla with a well developed, carbonaceous black basal layer. Perithecia black, 0.5-0.7 mm across, entirely immersed or slightly projecting, often laterally covered by thallus. Involucrellum adpressed to exciple, extending to the lowest part of the perithecium and merging with the black basal layer; exciple subglobose, 0.2-0.35 mm across, the wall dark brown; hamathecium of 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, 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, 18-27 x 8-10 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
