Distinguishing features:
Small-medium sized (4-6µm) Watznaueria with relatively wide central area (approximately the same width as the rim) spanned by an irregular grill of blocky laths. In LM the grill is impercetible or weakly birefringent.

Distinguishing features:
Small-medium sized (4-6µm) Watznaueria with relatively wide central area (approximately the same width as the rim) spanned by an irregular grill of blocky laths. In LM the grill is impercetible or weakly birefringent.
Difficult to definitively identify in LM because the grill is imperceptible.
