Synonyms: Acarospora sinopica var. ferruginea Körb.; Acarospora smaragdula var. sinopica (Wahlenb.) A. Massal.; Polysporinopsis sinopica (Wahlenb.) Vězda; Zeora sinopica (Wahlenb.) Flot.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, of contiguous to dispersed, c. 1 mm wide, rounded or angular, flat and smooth areoles separated by thin cracks, bright rust-red to dark orange-brown, rarely yellowish in shade-forms, the marginal areoles often elongated and weakly radiating, giving the thallus a subplacodioid appearance. Cortex 20-35 µm thick; photobiont layer continuous, not interrupted by hyphal bundles. Apothecia usually abundant, mostly 2-8 per areole, more or less punctiform and immersed, 0.1-0.2(-0.3) mm across, rarely expanded and up to 0.6 mm across, with a dark brown or blackish disc an a thin, raised, blackish proper margin. Proper exciple 15-30 µm thick; epithecium dark rust-red; hymenium colourless, 120-170 µm high, the hymenial gel hemiamyloid, K/I+ light blue fading to light red; paraphyses 1-1.5 µm thick at base, the apical cells hardly swollen; hypothecium colourless. Asci 100-200-spored, clavate, the apical dome K/I-. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 3-4 x 1.5-2 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
