Syn.: Biatorella ochrophora (Nyl.) Arnold, Lecidea ochrophora Nyl., Strangospora ochrophora (Nyl.) R.A. Anderson
Lichenised.
Substrate: bark
Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)
Note: a mild-temperate species found on Populus, but also on Sambucus and other trees with base-rich bark in rather shaded and humid situations; overlooked, but certainly rare and declining in the Alps.
