Epithecium 7-9 µm thick, slightly granular, pale yellowish-brown. Hymenium 40-50 µm tall, colourless. Hypothecium 40-60 µm thick, pale yellowish or brownish. Paraphyses simple, free or conglutinate, 2-3 µm thick, apices capitate 5 µm thick. Ascospores biseriate ellipsoid-fusiform, with pointed or blunt apices, straight, 10.2-12 × 1.5-2 µm.

Notes
editorial
The collection is small so was not investigated in detail but it is certainly not a species of Catillochroma, Megalaria or Cliostomum. From the form of the thallus, the fusiform shaped ascospores and other anatomical details, it is most probably a species of Coenogonium, and from the orange-red colour of the apothecia it may be an earlier name for Coenogonium rubrofusca (Vĕzda & Malcolm) Malcolm.
