Gyalidea lecideopsis (A. Massal.) Lettau ex Vězda var. lecideopsis

Syn.: Gyalecta albocrenata Arnold, Gyalecta hyalina Hepp, Gyalecta lecideopsis A. Massal., Gyalecta stigmatoides (Nyl.) Boistel, Gyalidea albocrenata (Arnold) Lettau, Gyalidea lecideopsis (A. Massal.) Lettau ex Vězda var. stigmatoides (Nyl.) Vězda, Lecidea stigmatoides Nyl.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks, intermediate rocks (such as calciferous schists)

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) 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 northern-montane species found on limestone, dolomite, calciferous schists, on porous, damp faces; easily overlooked, but certainly rare in the Alps.
