Lamprospora miniata var. parvispora Benkert
Micologia 2000 (Ass. Micol. Bresadola), Trento 2000 : 51 (2001)
Lamprospora miniata var. parvispora, apothecia Lamprospora miniata var. parvispora, asci with ascospores
1: Lamprospora miniata var. parvispora, apothecia 2: Lamprospora miniata var. parvispora, asci with ascospores stained with lactophenol-cotton-blue
Apothecia: 0.8-1 mm in diameter, with membranaceous margin, hymenium brownish to dark-red
Asci: 8-spored, spores uniseriate
Ascospores: globose, (12-)13-15 µm in diameter, ornamentation consisting of ridges (0.3-)0.5(-0.6) µm wide forming a more or less regular areolate reticulum of 4-7(-8) meshes/diameter
Hosts: Barbula unguiculata and Barbula convoluta
Infectious structures: infects rhizoids and rarely leafs
Habitat: in open habitats on soil with pioneer-mosses
Distribution: Austria (Janošík unpublished), Czech Republic (Janošík unpublished), Germany (BB, HH, MV, NI, SN, TH), Norway, Slovakia (Janošík unpublished), Sweden (Isaksson 2022), United Kingdom
Notes: differs from Lamprospora miniata De Not. var. miniata by slightly smaller spores and the restriction to the moss genus Barbula
