Ciri dan struktur
The thallus of Biatora kalbii is made of small round to elongated, convex green squamules (scales) measuring 0.1–0.3 mm in diameter. Some scales are arranged so that they are discrete, while others may overlap; all are attached closely to the substrate. Isidia are spherical; they lengthen by budding. The prothallus is pale and thin. Apothecia (sexual reproductive structures) are common in Biatora kalbii; they are circular with a pale to dark brown disc that is either flat or slightly convex, and a margin around the disc. The ascospores are ellipsoid to short-fusiform (tapering on both ends). Pycnidia are common on the lichen surface; they appear tan-coloured spots with orange to brown ostioles immersed in the thallus. The pycnidia produce straight, rod-shaped conidia that measure 9 by 1 μm. The lichen does not produce any secondary chemicals that could be detected with standard spot tests.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Biatora kalbii has a pantropical distribution, with most records recorded from altitudes between 300 and 2400 m. Brako's original description includes records from the United States, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Kenya, and Tanzania.
