Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic, grey to grey-brown, sometimes poorly evident. Perithecia black, 0.4-0.6 mm across, immersed in pits in the rock, without involucrellum. Exciple dark throughout; hymenial gel I+ red (I+ blue at very low concentrations of iodine), K/I+ blue; hymenial algae almost isodiametrical, 3-4 μm wide; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent. Asci 4–8-spored, clavate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, after dehiscence with a delicate extruded endotunica, I-, K/I-. Ascospores muriform, hyaline, finally sometimes light pink-brown coloured, ellipsoid, (18-)25-60 x (11-)14-25 μm. Pycnidia black, immersed in the thallus. Conidia rod-shaped. Photobiont chlorococcoid, present in both thallus and hymenium. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.Note: on limestone and dolomite, usually on steeply inclined surfaces; this is one of the few species of the genus with optimum below the montane belt.
