Lichenogr. Scand., 2: 397, 1874. Basionym: Lecidea fossarum Dufour ex Fr. - Lichenogr. Eur. Ref.: 364, 1831.
Synonyms: Biatora rousselii Durieu & Mont.; Biatorella rousselii (Durieu & Mont.) De Not.
Description: Thallus crustose, pale grey, thin and inconspicuous, granulose and poorly delimited. Apothecia biatorine, 0.4-1(-1.1) mm across, pale orange-red to grey-brown, not constricted at base, with a rapidly convex disc, emarginate. Proper exciple poorly developed, of more or less parallel, colourless to pale yellow hyphae, I+ blue; epithecium almost colourless to pale orange-yellow, K-, with a layer of crystals; hymenium colourless to pale yellow, I+ deep blue; paraphyses richly branched and anastomosing in upper part, 1.5-2 µm thick in lower part, the apical cells 4-7 µm wide; hypothecium pale grey-yellow. Asci >100-spored, cylindrical to clavate, with a simple, K/I± faintly blue apical dome surrounded by weakly amyloid wall layers, Biatorella-type (see Hafellner & Casares-Porcel 1992). Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, cylindrical, 8-13 x 2.3-3 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
