[7] Finally, in 2011, Kerry Knudsen, Damien Ertz, and Anders Tehler reclassified it under its current name, Paraschismatomma ochroleucum.

[2] In terms of type specimens, which are used as reference points for species identification, the lectotype of Paraschismatomma ochroleucum is housed in the Natural History Museum Vienna (W).

Its thallus, or main body, is typically 0.2 to 1 mm thick with a slightly bumpy texture and may appear cracked while remaining cohesive.

A feature of P. ochroleucum is the frequent presence of soralia, which are specialized structures for asexual reproduction appearing as powdery eruptions on the lichen surface.

[8] The thallus is covered by a protective layer called the cortex, which is 20–40 μm thick and composed of intertwined fungal filaments.

The disc of the ascomata is flat or slightly concave, covered with a white, powdery substance, and surrounded by a prominent, wavy-edged margin.

The spores themselves are spindle-shaped, straight or curved, clear (hyaline), and typically have 7–11 septa (internal dividing walls).

This distribution pattern indicates that the species is adapted to the specific environmental conditions present in these coastal areas, which may include factors such as moderate temperatures, high humidity, and potentially salt spray from the ocean.
