Syn.: Lecidella goniophila (Flörke) Körb. var. gracilis Arnold
Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.
Substrate: calciferous rocks
Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) 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 recalling Lecidella stigmatea, but paraphyses more conglutinated and ascospores narrower and often with pointed ends (to be compared with L. aemulans); on boulders of dolomite, so far known only from the Eastern Alps (Austria).
