Type: Ukraine, Crimea AR, Feodosia region, cape Meganom, on conglomerates in supralittoral zone, 2002, A. Khodosovtsev (KW—holotype; KHER!, CBFS!-isotypes). ITS sequence of a topotype: EU563423.

Thallus: pale grey, rarely yellowish (mainly at apothecial primordia), consisting of dispersed or continuous areoles, areolate. Areoles (110-) 147 ± 18 (-180) µm thick (n = 15) and (0.34-) 0.63 ± 0.16 (-0.87) mm wide (n = 15). Squamules ± entirely covered by blastidia, (48-) 85 ± 31 (-148) µm diam. (n = 15); true soredia absent. Cortex indistinct; alveolate cortex (18-) 28 ± 9 (-50) µm thick (n = 15). Apothecia frequent in the known population, (0.37-) 0.48 ± 0.07 (-0.62) mm diam. (n = 15). Disc in mature apothecia slightly concave to flat. Exciple (70-) 93 ± 14 (-110) µm thick (n = 14), zeorine, but thalline exciple hidden below the true exciple in young apothecia. Hymenium c. 60-80 µm thick (n = 5). Paraphyses tips swollen to (5.0-) 6.0 ± 0.75 (-7.0) µm (n = 15). Ascospores (10.0-) 13.25 ± 1.5 (-15.0) x (5.0-) 6.5 ± 1.0 (-8.0) µm (n = 15); length/ breadth ratio c. 2.04. Ascospore septa (3.0-) 4.75 ± 0.75 (-6.0) µm thick (n = 15), c. 0.36 of ascospore length. Conidia (25-) 3.0 ± 0.4 (-3.5) x (1.0-) 1.3 ± 0.2 (-1.5) µm (n = 15). (Vondrák et al. 2009: 596-597).
