Description: Thallus squamulose, the squamules up to 1(-1.5) mm wide, adpressed or rarely ascending, concave to weakly convex, grey green to dark brown, usually shiny, crenulate or incised. Upper cortex of thin-walled hyphae, up to 50 µm thick, including the up to 30 µm thick epinecral layer; lower cortex absent. Apothecia lecideine, usually abundant, up to 1(-1.5) mm across, laminal, with a black, epruinose and sometimes gyrose disc and a prominent, more or less flexuose, persistent proper margin. Proper exciple of closely conglutinated hyphae, brownish black in outer part, dark brown within, N-; epithecium dark brown, N-; hymenium colourless 45-60 µm high; paraphyses long-celled, sparingly branched.
