Distribution: N - Lig (Senkardser 2010).
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose or rimose-areolate, white to yellowish white, epruinose, usually delimited by a black prothallus. Medulla white, but partly yellowish-inspersed, I+ blue. Apothecia lecideine, black, sessile and constricted at base, 0.2-0.5 mm across, with a flat to convex, epruinose disc, and a thick, raised, persistent proper margin. Epithecium brown, N-; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets, 40-70 µm high; hypothecium dark reddish brown. Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall I-, but the thin outer gel I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, 12-14 x 7-9 µm, Physconia-type, the wall with a median thickening but without lateral thickenings. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ yellow, C+ deep yellow, KC+ yellow, P- or P+ faintly yellow. Chemistry: atranorin and placodiolic acid.
