Hypothallus distinct. Peridial cup less than half the sporotheca, obscurely ribbed and sometimes concentrically plicate, the margin toothed, calcic granules notably large, dark maroon or purple, 2-3(-5)µm diam. Peridial net poorly differentiated, the meshes irregular, the nodes irregular and not thickened, the threads pale and broad with short, often numerous free ends. Spore-mass rose-purple.
