in Wirth, Beitr. naturk. Forsch. Südwestdeutschl., 31: 92, 1972. Basionym: Lecidea kochiana Hepp - Lichen-Flora von Würzburg: 61, 1824.
Synonyms: Biatora indigula (Nyl.) Walt. Watson; Biatora kochiana (Hepp) Rabenh.; Biatora rivulosa var. kochiana (Hepp) Fr.; Lecanora mammillifera Stirt.; Lecidea coriacella Nyl.; Lecidea interludens Nyl.; Lecidea morosa Dufour; Lecidea rivulosa var. kochiana (Hepp) Schaer.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick, rimose-areolate, the areoles 0.5-2.5 mm wide, grey to brownish grey, often delimited by a dark prothallus. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia biatorine, innate, brown-black, sometimes faintly grey-pruinose (especially along the margins), usually irregular in outline and often elongate, 1-2.5(-3) mm across, with a flat disc, without a distinct proper margin. Proper exciple poorly developed, very thin; epithecium pale brown; hymenium colourless, very thick, scarcely delimited towards the hypothecium, 200-400 μm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched in upper part, 1.5-2 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cell clavate, to 5 μm wide. Asci 8-spored, clavate, developing at varying levels, with a thin external and internal K/I+ dark blue cap surrounded by a thick K/I+ pale blue apical cap, and with a K/I- apical tube in tholus, Fuscidea-type. Ascospores 1-celled, at first hyaline but becoming red-brown when overmature, broadly ellipsoid, 7.5-11 x 5-8 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV+ bluish white. Chemistry: divaricatic acid.
