Distribution: S - Si (Nimis & al. 1994).
Description: Thallus crustose, areolate, parasitic on the grey thalli of Kuettlingeria cretensis, consisting of roundish, up to 5 mm wide islands, which often merge into larger patches, attacking the areoles of the host one after the other. Areoles thin, irregularly angular, pale pinkish-orange, flat, mostly up to 0.5 mm in diam. Cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla loose, poorly developed. Apothecia mostly biatorine, but often sitting on a thick algal layer, some algae penetrating in the weakly differentiated exciple, usually sparse, immersed to sessile, mostly solitary in the areoles, 0.2-0.4 mm across, with a flat to slightly convex, pale reddish-orange disc, and an initially thick, then thinner and finally excluded margin of the same colour as the disc. Proper exciple thin, unclearly radiate-paraplectenchymatous, more or less swollen, the hyphae with rounded to elongated, 3-7 µm thick cell lumina; epithecium brownish, with a finely granulose epipsamma, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless, c. 80 µm high; paraphyses robust, strongly coherent, 1.5-2 µm thick, often apically branched and progressively thicker upwards; hypothecium colourless. Asci (6-)8-spored, clavate, functionally unitunicate, apically thickened with a broad internal beak, the inner part of apex and external cap I+ blue, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid, the apical wall thicker than the lateral one, and therefore lumina somehow heart-shaped, 10.5-12 x 6.5-8 µm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 2-4 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K+ purple-red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: apothecia with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997). Note: a well-distinguished calcicolous species growing on Kuettlingeria cretensis, also known from Turkey, to be sought for throughout the Mediterranean, in coastal situations, wherever the host is found, but certainly not common.
