The type specimen was collected by the first author west of the village of Bílá Voda, near a marble quarry (Eastern Sudetes, Golden Mountains, Czech Republic).

The authors noted, however, that some traits of the new species (e.g. a paraplectenchymatous outer exciple; narrow, needle-shaped ascospores; and threadlike conidia) suggested a placement in the segregate genus Bacidina.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the lichen clearly belongs to Bacidina (related to B. inundata and B. caligans), and so a formal transfer to that genus was proposed by Czarnota and Beata Guzow-Krzemińska in 2018.

It has been recorded from Belgium,[5] the Czech Republic,[6] Estonia,[7] Finland,[8] Lithuania,[9] Mordovia (Russia),[4] Poland,[10][11] North Caucasus,[12] Siberia,[3] and Ukraine.
