Description: Thallus crustose, very thinly episubstratic, whitish, granulose-farinose or consisting of scattered areoles, ecorticate. Apothecia circular in outline, rarely oblong, erumpent, becoming sessile, 0.2-0.5 mm across, with a black but usually white-pruinose disc, and often with a conspicuous, ecorticate, white thalline margin containing large crystals of calcium oxalate, contrasting with the darker colour of the disc. Proper exciple rudimentary or very thin; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless; paraphysoids branched, not or only slightly swollen at apex; hypothecium colourless to pale brown, I+ blue, K/I+ violet. Asci 8-spored, clavate, fissitunicate, with a I+ blue ring in tholus. Ascospores 3-septate, hyaline, slightly curved, 19-30 x 4-5 μm, without a perispore. Pycnidia black. Conidia bacilliform, curved, 4-6 x 1-1.2 μm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-. P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus with roccellic acid.Note: a Mediterranean-Atlantic species, most abundant on evergreen trees in Tyrrhenian Italy, especially on Quercus ilex in humid Mediterranean woodlands. The record of Schismatomma dirinellum by Caporale & Pagliani (2009, 2014b) from Abruzzo, those by Cataldo & Minissale (2015) and Caniglia & Grillo (2006b) from Sicily, and that by Frati & al. (2008) from Tuscany most probably refer to this species.
