Syn.: Fuscidea curvula (H. Magn.) Hertel, Lecidea arcuatula (Arnold) Hue, Lecidea curvula H. Magn., Lecidea recensa Stirt.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: on hard siliceous rocks in humid, sheltered sites, usually below the subalpine belt; overlooked, being often sterile, and probably more widespread in the Alps.
