Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose-areolate, grey to ochraceous brown, the areoles contiguous, flat, often brownish to greenish and N+ purple at margins and on lower side. Apothecia aspicilioid, immersed in the areoles, 0.2-0.4(-0.7) mm across, with a concave to flat, brown to black, often faintly grey-pruinose disc and a thin, persistent thalline margin. Epithecium orange-brown to dark brown, with an epipsamma of small crystals dissolving in K, K-; hymenium colourless, 90-110 µm high; paraphyses c. 1.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 3-5 µm wide, with a brown cap; hypothecium colourless, up to 150 µm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, pigmented, ellipsoid, (16-)18-22(-24) x 9-12(-13.5) µm, Milvina-type grading into the Pachysporaria-type, with a poorly developed torus, the ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation).
