Gyalidea roseola (Arnold) Lettau

Feddes Rep. Beih., 69: 123, 1937. Basionym: Gyalecta roseola Arnold - Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 23: 95, 1873.

Distribution: N - TAA (Nascimbene 2008b), Lig.

Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, very thin, continuous to finely rimose, pale yellowish brown. Apothecia lecideine, 0.4-0.7 mm across, with an initially concave, then almost flat, flesh-coloured to pinkish brown disc, and a smooth, more or less concolorous proper margin which is sometimes laterally covered by a very thin, finally excluded thalline layer. Proper exciple colourless, 50-70 µm wide laterally; hymenium colourless, 90-110 µm high; paraphyses mostly simple, 1-1.5 µm thick; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, thin-walled, apically thickened, with a small ocular chamber. Ascospores submuriform, with 3-7 transverse septa and 1-3 longitudinal septa, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid to ovoid, 20-36 x 8-14 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid, Cystococcus/Leptosira-like. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.

Note: on siliceous rocks (especially crystalline schists), on periodically wetted faces, such as near creeks and waterfalls in upland areas; an overall rare species, known from a few localities in northwestern Europe and from the Alps; the record from Liguria needs confirmation.
