　Description： Ascomata hysterious, erect to slanted, vertically elongated and compressed, ligulate with the middle always broader and thicker, 0.8-1 mm high, 0.3-0.5 mm wide, 0.2-0.4 mm thick (the latter two measurements are made at the wider middle portion), transversely striate to aggregated, superficial on subiculum, with a bivalve shell-like fissuring along the lateral edges, and the two halves of shell separating to expose the lateral slits except at the apex and base, appearing lenticular in longitudinal section . Peridium 40-60 μm thick, composed of many layered, dark brown, polygonal cells, with the basal portion forming tufts of thick-walled, brown hyphae, growing downward to the underlying subiculaum. Pseudoparaphyses trabeuculate. Asci bitunicate, long cylindrical, rounded at apex, 270-420 × 6-8 μm, basal, 8-spored, stipitate, the stipe 40-55 μm long. Ascospores filiform, almost as long as the ascus, light brown, multiseptate, septa 6-14 μm apart, fasciculate, parallel or partly twisted, obtuse at both ends.
