Description: Thallus crustose, entirely endosubstratic, whitish or poorly evident. Apothecia lecideine, 0.2-0.3(-0.4) mm across, yellowish brown to pale orange brown (pale yellow when wet), sessile, with a concave, then flat to slightly convex disc, and an initially prominent and smooth, finally excluded proper margin which is usually paler than disc. Proper exciple pale yellow in outer part, colourless within; epithecium pale yellowish brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 45-60 µm high; paraphyses simple, 1-1.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells only slightly swollen, up to 2.5(-3) µm wide, weakly pigmented; hypothecium colourless to pale straw-coloured. Asci 8-spored, clavate, surrounded by a gelatinous I+ blue coat, with a well-developed I+ blue tholus, a I+ darker blue tube and a well-developed ocular chamber, approaching the Biatora-type.
