Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic, with corticate, 10-40 μm wide goniocysts. Apothecia rugby-ball shaped (roundish to narrowly elliptical), often regenerating in chains from the outer tips of empty excipular shells, 0.2-3.9 x 0.09-0.24 mm, with a concave to flat, pale to dark brown disc, and a thin, brown, inconspicuous margin. Exciple of laterally interwoven hyphae, paraplectenchymatous in vertical section, 20-45(-67) μm wide, pale brown in outer part, colourless within; hymenium colourless to pale brown, easily separating from exciple, 60-85 μm high, I+ blue-green, then rust red; paraphyses slender, sparsely branched, 1.2-2 μm thick at midpoint, apically thickened to 3.5 μm, the apical cells sprawling over the disc; hypothecium colourless, 30-50(-70) μm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate-cylindrical, unitunicate, the gelatinous sheaths covering the walls amyloid, the tholus lacking internal amyloid structures, similar to that in Trapelia. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, (8.5-)10-11(-13) x 4.5-7 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: confriesiic acid, or without lichen substances.
