Syn.: Biatora muverani Müll. Arg., Lecidea jurana Schaer. var. muverani (Müll. Arg.) Hertel, Lecidea muverani (Müll. Arg.) Müll. Arg., Melanolecia jurana (Schaer.) Hertel var. muverani (Müll. Arg.) Hertel

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: a taxon with non-umbonate apothecia, the hypothecium about twice as high as the hymenium, the exciple relatively thin, reacting slowly K+ crimson to violet; on limestone and calcareous schists; a rare taxon of the Central European mountains; the distribution in the Alps is incompletely known because this variety was not always distinguished.
