Catinaria atropurpurea (Schaer.) Vězda & Poelt
in Poelt & Vezda, Bibl. Lichenol., 16: 363, 1981. Basionym: Lecidea sphaeroides var. atropurpurea Schaer. - Lich. Helv. Spicil., 4-5: 165, 1833.
Synonyms: Biatora adpressa Hepp; Biatora atropurpurea (Schaer.) Hepp; Biatorina adpressa (Hepp) Körb.; Biatorina arceutica A. Massal.; Biatorina atropurpurea (Schaer.) A. Massal.; Catillaria adpressa (Hepp) Schuler; Catillaria atropurpurea (Schaer.) Th. Fr.
Description: Thallus crustose, continuous and smooth or often minutely granular (granules 15-70 µm in diam.), pale to dark grey-brown, greenish white, or grey-green, sometimes poorly evident. Apothecia lecideine to biatorine, broadly adnate or slightly constricted at base, 0.2-0.6(-0.8) mm across, with a concave to slightly convex, reddish brown (when dry) to black (when wet), epruinose disc, and a concolorous or darker, rather thick, finally sometimes excluded proper margin. Proper exciple dark brown to violet-red in outer part, colourless to pale brown within, of radiating, conglutinated hyphae with ellipsoid to oblong lumina; epithecium pale yellow to brown, K-, N-; hymenium colourless, 55-75 µm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched in lower part, rather lax, 0.8-1 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 2-4 µm wide, often with a brown cap; hypothecium colourless or pale brown, K-. Asci 8-spored, subcylindrical, with a K/I+ blue outer coat and a K/I+ uniformly blue apical dome, approaching the Catillaria-type, but with a non-amyloid axial mass and a small ocular chamber, with biseriately arranged spores. Ascospores 1-septate, often slightly constricted at septum, hyaline, ellipsoid or oblong-ellipsoid, 9-15 x 5-7 µm, with a smooth wall surrounded by an up to 1.5 µm thick, gelatinous perispore. Photobiont chlorococcoid ( Dictyochloropsis), the cells 5-9 µm in diam. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Growth form: Crustose
