Synonyms: Marfloraea ophthalmiza (Nyl.) S.Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös & J.-S. Hur; Pertusaria multipuncta auct. p.p. non (Turner) Nyl.; Pertusaria ophthalmiza (Nyl.) Nyl.
Distribution: N - Frl (Martellos 2005), TAA (Nascimbene & al. 2007b, 2014, Nascimbene 2014, Nascimbene & Marini 2015, Trindade & al. 2021). C - Sar (Sipman in litt.). S - Pugl (Thüs & Licht 2006).
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, continuous to rimose-areolate, ash grey to dark grey, smooth to verrucose-tuberculate. Fertile warts soralia-like, coarsely white-pruinose, c. 0.4-1.5 mm across, with a raised, crenulate margin; apothecia 1 (-3) per wart, with a blackish brown, whitish pruinose disc totally concealed by the pruina. Epithecium dark brown to black, K-; hymenium colourless; hypothecium yellowish brown. Asci 1-spored, broadly cylindrical, the apex without a distinct ocular chamber, the outer sheath K/I+ blue, otherwise K/I–, with an inner extensible layer, Pertusaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid to cylindrical, 85-190 x 25-75 µm, the wall to 10 µm thick, 1-layered. Pycnidia immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 4-7 x 0.5-1.0 µm Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: four unidentified fatty acids.Note: a cool-temperate to southern boreal lichen with optimum on the bark of coniferous trees (Abies, Picea), both on boles and twigs in humid-cold situations (e.g. in gorges and sinkholes), but also occurring on Fagus; certainly more widespread in the Alps, and also reported from the Gargano Peninsula, and from the mountains of Sardinia. In the past the species might have been confused with L. multipuncta, which has a different chemistry. See also note on Pertusaria pruinosa.
