Description: Thallus crustose-placodioid, episubstratic, yellowish white to pale grey, usually densely white-pruinose, forming orbicular rosettes to 2(-4) cm in diam. Marginal lobes 1-2 x 0.3 0.8 mm, flat to slightly convex, not overlapping; central part of thallus areolate. Cortex absent or poorly developed; medulla white. Apothecia frequent, lecanorine, 0.3-1(-1.5) mm across, at first half immersed but soon becoming sessile and constricted at base, with a pale to dark brown-black, often slightly white-pruinose disc, and a thick, white-pruinose thalline margin. Epithecium yellow-brown, inspersed with crystals not dissolving in K; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses simple or sparsely branched, slightly swollen at apex. Asci 8-spored, elongate-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, broadly ellipsoid, thin-walled, 8-13(-15) x 4-7(-8) μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ pale yellow, C+ orange, KC+ orange, P-, UV+ orange; disc of apothecia always C-. Chemistry: arthothelin, 2,7-dichlorlichexanthone.
Note: a mainly temperate species found on limestone, dolomite, mortar, brick and, more rarely, basic siliceous rocks; mainly Tyrrhenian, and there often found in settlements and on man-made substrata, much rarer along the Adriatic side of the Peninsula, and there most common in upland areas under overhangs of calcareous rocks. A dubious record from Valle d'Aosta (see Piervittori & Isocrono 1999: 129) is not accepted here.
Growth form: Crustose placodiomorph
Substrata: rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly sexual
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
In underhangs rarely wetted by rain
