Description: Thallus crustose, thinly episubstratic, whitish to pale grey, delimited by a thin, black prothallus. Apothecia lecideine, 0.2-0.5 mm across, round, with a flat, red-brown, finally often blackish disc, and a rather thick, raised, persistent proper margin. Proper exciple well-developed, pale red-brown in outer part, colourless within, of radiating, gelatinized hyphae; epithecium pale red-brown, K+ dull brown, N-; hymenium colourless, 60-70 μm high; paraphyses coherent, only sparingly branched, except in the lower part adjacent to the hypothecium, the apical cells slightly swollen, with a brown cap; hypothecium colourless, 20-45 μm high, I+ blue. Asci 8-spored, clavate, with a wide apical cushion, Lecidella-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 13-17(-19) x 8.5-10 μm, with a thick, non-layered wall. Photobiont chlorococcoid.
