[1] The type specimen was collected from the ruins of the castle Děvičky [cz] in the Pavlovské vrchy [cz] region of Pavlov (South Moravia) at an altitude of 422 m (1,385 ft); there, the lichen was found growing parasitically on the thallus of the crustose lichen Caloplaca erodens, which itself was growing on west-exposed limestone.

[1] The ascomata are apothecial in form, and usually occur as irregular dark patches on the thallus of the host lichen.

They are rounded, measuring about 0.2 mm in diameter, and have a distinct carbonized (blackened) exciple (rim).

[1] Originally identified from specimens collected in the Czech Republic, the fungus has since been reported from Dobruja, east Romania, and the Apennine Mountains of Italy.

Known hosts are Caloplaca erodens and the related species C. albopruinosa, both of which are saxicolous lichens that inhabit limestone outcrops that are exposed to the sun.
