Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, forming small patches, greyish-white, ash-grey to grey-brown, not well delimited, up to 1 mm thick, the areoles usually scattered, up to 1 mm broad, angular, sublobate, sometimes developing on a thin, black hypothallus. Apothecia immersed and cryptolecanorine to sessile and lecanorine, contiguous and becoming angular, up to 1 mm across, with a concave to flat, black, scabrid disc, and a thin, crenulate, finally sometimes excluded thalline margin. Proper exciple brownish to brownish-violet in outer part, colourless within; epithecium dark brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 90-110 μm high; paraphyses branched in upper part, 1.5-2 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 4-6 μm wide; hypothecium colourless, up to 150 μm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, slightly constricted at septum, brown, ellipsoid, 13-19 x 7-11.5 μm, Buellia-type, with a verruculose wall. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-.
