Rabenh. Krypt.-Fl., 2 ed., 9, 5/1: 57, 84, fig. 16, 1935

Synonyms:

Distribution: C - Tosc (Knudsen & Kocourková 2020).

Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic, poorly evident. Apothecia lecideine, 0.4-0.7 mm across, with a brown-red, flat, epruinose disc, and a thin, black, raised, undulate proper margin. Proper exciple of radiating hyphae with swollen and dark brown tips, dark brown in outer part, pale brown to colourless within, the darker rim not clearly delimited from the paler medullary part; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless, 65-85 µm high, the hymenial gel euamyloid, IKI+ persistently dark blue; paraphyses coherent, simple to sparingly branched, regularly septate, not capitate; hypothecium brown-black. Asci >100-spored, cylindrical-clavate, strongly thickened at apex, the apical dome K/I-, the outer coat K/I+ blue. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, 3-5 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.

Note: A species very much resembling Sarcogyne clavus, and perhaps confused with it in the older literature, growing on siliceous rocks, often in cracks.
