　Description： Ascomata conical, 580-740 μm wide, 430-470 μm high, flattened at the base, tapering towards the apex, immersed, scattered, subepidermal, raising the epidermis, with erumpent ostiole, on surface visible as hemisphereic, black swellings. Ostiolar canal 80-100 μm wide in the middle, fragile, 30-40 μm wide, composed of melanized thick-walled cells at sides, the base reduced with only a layer of hyaline subhymenium. Asci clavate, 130-150 × 52-56 μm in spore bearing portion, with an easily detachable stalk up to 60 μm long, basal, bitunicate, endotunica thick. Pseudoparaphyses numerous, trabeculate, c.a. 1 μm wide. Ascospores broadly fusiform, 38-46 × 16-20 μm, pointed at the ends, 1-septate in the middle, constricted at the septum, occasionally forming an additional septum near each end, very thick-walled, at first hyaline and becoming pale brown to opaque dark brown when mature, overlapping bi-triseriate inside ascus, surrounded by a hyaline 2-4 μm thick mucilaginous sheath.
