Synonyms: Lecidea subconcolor (Anzi) Jatta; Trapelia subconcolor (Anzi) Hertel; Trapeliopsis subconcolor (Anzi) Hertel

Distribution: N - TAA (Nascimbene & al. 2022), Lomb (Resl & al. 2015).

Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose-areolate to verrucose-areolate, the areoles often strongly convex and almost papillate, cream-coloured to pale grey-white, without a distinct prothallus. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia lecideine, sessile and constricted at base, 0.5-3.5 mm across, with a mostly flat, pale to medium brown disc, and a darker brown, thick, raised, persistent, often sinuous proper margin. Proper exciple thick, with an ochraceous yellow outer part, and a colourless medullary part filled by yellowish grey, small crystals reacting K+ yellow and P+ orange; epithecium ochraceous yellow, N-, C- or rarely C+ red; hymenium colourless 50-100 μm high; paraphyses coherent, much branched and anastomosing; hypothecium yellowish. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, thin-walled, the apical dome K/I- or K/I+ pale blue, Trapelia-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid or drop-shaped, 8-16 x 4-7 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P+ orange. Chemistry: stictic acid syndrome in thallus; sometimes gyrophoric acid in the apothecia.

Note: a rarely-collected subtropical species found on basic siliceous rocks in sheltered situations, mostly in upland areas.
