Description: This species is identical to C. cerinella (described elsewhere) but differs in having eight spores per ascus (not 12–16). It is often drawn to dust-impacted bark, especially trees close to limestone quarry workings. In Ireland, the species is known only from County Fermanagh.

Key Identification Features:

• Virtually identical to C. cerinella (on twigs of basic-barked, short-lived trees)
• Spores 8/ascus.
