  Thallus thin, filmy, effuse, green; thalline warts absent; algal cells adjacent to the ascomata 6–10 (–12) µm diam. Ascomata solitary, semi-immersed to ±superficial, ±globose, (0.10–) 0.13 (–0.16) mm diam., pale yellow-pruinose; apex inconspicuous. Ascomatal wall 30–40 µm thick at the apex, 15–20 µm thick at the base, hyaline. Periphyses growing from below the ostiole and from the side walls of the ascoma, furcate, 15–20 (–25) × c. 1 µm. Paraphyses absent. Hymenium lax, separating in K, K/I+ pale blue near the base, K/I+ pale yellowish red above. Asci containing several hundred ascospores, elongate-cylindrical or narrowly flask-shaped, uniformly thin-walled (including the apex), c. 110–160 × 16–26 µm; wall K/I+ pale blue. Ascospores narrowly ellipsoidal to oblong, often slightly constricted in the middle, 2.0–4.0 (–4.5) × 1.0–1.5 (–2.0) µm, usually biguttulate.
