Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose-areolate, grey-brown to brown, sometimes with a waxy appearance, epruinose, without a distinct prothallus, consisting of irregularly angular, 0.2-1.6 mm wide and up to 1 mm thick, smooth, contiguous areoles. Apothecia at first almost perithecioid, but soon becoming apothecioid, urceolate, semi-immersed in the areoles, up to 1.3 mm across, with a concave, black but often slightly pruinose disc, and a raised, black margin. Proper exciple substituted by a 70-100 µm thick, pseudoparenchymatous pseudoexciple of degenerating, black hymenial elements; epithecium poorly differentiated, colourless to brownish; hymenium colourless, 90-120 µm high; paraphyses simple, flaccid, 1-1.5 µm thick, the apical cells not swollen; hypothecium colourless, 10-15 µm thick. Asci (1-)2-spored, cylindrical, 80-110 x 15-30 µm, with an amyloid wall. Ascospores muriform, with 5-12 transverse and 2-5 longitudinal septa, at first almost colourless then turning brown, broadly ellipsoid, 28-42 x 14-23 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
