Synonyms: Lecanora bicincta Ramond var. bicincta; Lecanora glaucoma var. bicincta (Ramond) Nyl.; Lecanora rupicola var. bicincta (Ramond) Clauzade & Cl. Roux; Lecanora sordida var. bicincta (Ramond) Th. Fr.
Distribution: N - Frl (Tretiach & Hafellner 2000), TAA (Nascimbene & al. 2022), Lomb, Piem (Isocrono & al. 2004, Giordani & al. 2014, Favero-Longo & al. 2015), VA (Piervittori & Isocrono 1999, Piervittori & al. 2004), Lig. C - Sar. S - Cal (Puntillo 1996).
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose-areolate to slightly verrucose, whitish to pale bluish-grey, rarely with a yellowish tinge, often somehow shiny, sometimes delimited by a dark prothallus. Areoles flat to rarely convex when old, ecorticate, smooth, epruinose, the peripheral ones often elongate and marginally darker bluish-grey. Apothecia lecanorine, at first adnate, then sometimes sessile, 0.2-1(-1.3) mm across, with a dark brown to brown-black, but heavily bluish-grey-pruinose, flat to convex disc, a thin, persistent, smooth, often wavy, usually finally excluded thalline margin, and an evident, blue-black, sinuous parathecial ring. Thalline exciple phenocorticate, with numerous algal cells, and with both large and small crystals, the latter soluble in K; proper exciple thick, dark in outer and upper part, colourless within, lacking crystals; epithecium brown to dark brown, with crystals, both pigment and crystals dissolving in K; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets; paraphyses slightly thickened apically; hypothecium colourless, not inspersed. Asci 8-spored, clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-14 x 5-8 µm, the wall <1 µm thick. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecial margin K+ yellow, C- and KC- or (rarely) C+ and KC+ orange-yellow, P- or P+ pale yellow; apothecial disc C+ yellow-orange, C+ orange. Chemistry: atranorin (major), roccellic acid (major), arthothelin (minor or absent), chloroatranorin (minor), eugenitol (minor), with or without thiophanic acid; pruina of apothecia with sordidone (major).
Note: a holarctic lichen found on vertical or rain-sheltered surfaces of hard siliceous rocks. According to Roux & coll. (2014) this is just a morphotype of G. rupicola, transitional forms being common (see also Grube & al. 2004).
