Description: Thallus crustose, very thin, not lichenized, immersed in the bark, usually effuse, indistinct or slightly bleaching the bark, whitish to pale grey-brown, without a prothallus. Apothecia arthonioid, 0.2-1.4 x 0.3-0.4 mm, 40-60 µm tall, black, epruinose, scattered all over the thallus, usually immersed, flat and non erumpent, variable in size and shape, from round to elongate, rarely branched or substellate. Proper exciple inconspicuous, very thin, reddish brown, interrupted below the hypothecium; epithecium brown or olive-brown, K+ green; hymenium colourless, 25-50 µm high, the hymenial gel I+ and K/I+ blue; paraphysoids 1-1.5 µm wide, the apical cells up to c. 3.5 µm wide, with dark brown walls; hypothecium colourless, poorly developed. Asci 8-spored, subglobose, semi-fissitunicate, with a large apical dome and a distinct ocular chamber, the apex with a K/I+ blue ring-structure, Arthonia-type. Ascospores 3(-5)-septate, hyaline, oblong-ovoid to oblong, the apical cell not enlarged, 13-25 x (4-)5-6 µm. Photobiont absent. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a temperate to boreal-montane, circumpolar early coloniser of smooth bark, especially of twigs, rare in dry areas; doubtfully lichenised and probably heterogeneous (Moen 2019).
