Type: Austria, Styria, distr. Feldbach, Riegersburg, alt. 400 m, on andesite rock, 1990, G. Kantvilas, H. Mayrhofer & A. Vezda (A. Vezda: Lich. Sel. Exsicc. 2470, BM!, PRM!—isotypes).

Thallus: crustose, yellow, areolate or formed of tightly aggregated squamules; marginal areoles have a ± lobate character. Areoles/ squamules (80–) 150 ± 39 (–220) µm thick (n = 21) and (0.3–) 1.11 ± 0.7 (–3.0) mm wide (n = 47). Thallus surface smooth or covered by granules and blastidia; in old thalli, vegetative diaspores may cover most of the thallus surface. Granules/blastidia (30–) 75 ± 21 (–130) µm diam. (n = 31). Cortex indistinct, alveolate cortex (7–) 18 ± 8 (–32) µm high (n = 18). Apothecia present in 37% of investigated specimens, (0.41–) 0.6 ± 0.13 (–0.88) mm diam. (n = 19). Discs slightly concave to flat. Exciple (70–) 105 ± 21 (–140) µm thick (n = 15), zeorine, sometimes crenulate. The true exciple/thalline exciple ratio very variable; thalline exciple enlarged with age. Hymenium 70–100 µm thick (n = 12). Paraphyses tips widened to (3.0–) 4.4 ± 0.6 (–5.5) µm (n = 27). Ascospores (9.0–) 12.0 ± 1.25 (–14.0) x (4.5–) 5.5 ± 0.9 (–7.5) µm (n = 20); length/breadth ratio c. 2.2; asco- spore septa (3.0–) 4.0 ± 0.5 (–5.0) µm thick (n = 20), c. 0.33 of ascospore length. Conidia (1.5–) 2.4 ± 0.5 (–3.0) x (1.0–) 1.25 ± 0.25 (–1.5) µm (n = 26). (Vondrák et al. 2009: 586).
