Thallus: Data lacking.

Photobiont: Data lacking.

Chemistry: The grey thallus is K-, C-, KC-, PD-, UV- and N- and contains no extractable secondary compounds. Orange pigmented parts of the thallus and the apothecia are K+ red. Parietin is the strongly dominant secondary compound in the apothecia corresponding to chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997) (Søchting et al. 2016: 4).

Ecology: Parasitic on Hydropunctaria sp. on maritime rocks.

Distribution type: Data lacking.
