Description: Thallus crustose, thinly episubstratic, continuous, whitish, sometimes poorly evident, doubtfully lichenized. Perithecia black, shiny, 0.1-0.25 mm across, hemispherical or flattened at top. Involucrellum dimidiate, K-; exciple dimidiate, developed only in the upper half of the perithecium; pseudoparaphyses persistent, branched and anastomosing. Asci 4-8-spored, ovoid-elongate, fissitunicate, 55-65 x 10-15 µm. Ascospores 1-septate, not constricted at septum, ellipsoid to oblong, with more or less equal cells, hyaline, 14-16(-18) x 5-8 µm, surrounded by a rather thick perispore. Pycnidia black. Conidia bacilliform, straight, 3.5-4 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont probably absent. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
