Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, often growing on the thalli of Schaereria fuscocinerea, pale to dark grey, shiny, areolate, the areoles 0.3-0.8 mm wide, forming 1-4(-5) cm wide patches, often delimited by a dark prothallus. Cortex of anticlinally arranged, cellular hyphae, the terminal cells swollen, with brown caps; medulla white, I+ blue. Apothecia black, cryptolecanorine to zeorine, 0.2-0.8(-1) mm across, immersed in the areoles, with a black, epruinose, mostly flat disc and an indistinct proper margin. Proper exciple thin, Aethalea-type, the inner hyphae hyaline, prosoplectenchymatous, the outer hyphae parallel and usually strongly brown- to olive-pigmented, N+ reddish; epithecium olive-green to olive-brown, N+ red; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets, 42-70 µm high; hypothecium colourless to medium brown. Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall I-, but the thin outer gel I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 1-septate, constricted at septum, brown, broadly oblong, 8-12(-14) x 4.5-7 µm, Buellia-type, the wall >1.5 µm thick, with a striate ornamentation. Pycnidia black, immersed in the thallus. Conidia bacilliform, 3.5-5(-7) x 0.5-1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ yellow-orange, C+ red, KC+ red, P- or P+ faintly orange. Chemistry: gyrophoric acid (major), variable amounts of stictic acid.
