Syll. Lich. Ital.: 567, 1900. Basionym: Amphoridium cinereum A. Massal. - Lotos, 6: 80, 1856.
Synonyms: Verrucaria dictyospora Stizenb.; Verrucaria lariana var. cinerea (A. Massal.) Garov.
Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic or thinly episubstratic, continuous, blue-grey, farinose, with minute dark dots visible at high magnification, delimited by a black prothalline line. Perithecia black, globose, (0.4-)0.5-0.6 mm across, almost completely immersed and leaving pits in the rock, projecting only with the convex, flattened apical part. Involucrellum absent; exciple thick, dark throughout; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid, I+ red (I+ blue at very low concentrations of I), K/I+ blue. Asci 8-spored, clavate, K/I–, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of an endotunica to form a delicate rostrum. Ascospores muriform, hyaline, ellipsoid, 18-32 x 12-16 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
