Ciri dan struktur
The thallus of Tetramelas papillatus is white to grey-white and breaks into low, rounded plates () that can become distinctly blistered (convex- to ). The fruiting bodies (apothecia) are small, up to about 1 mm across, and sit directly on the thallus (). They occur singly or may merge (discrete to confluent), are sometimes covered with a fine, frosty bloom (), and soon become strongly convex and lack a distinct rim (). When young they may show a rim formed by the thallus itself (a ). The apothecial wall () is dark-pigmented; the thin surface film () is brown; the spore-bearing layer (hymenium) shows no visible oil droplets; and the tissue beneath it () is brown. The ascospores are ellipsoid, with uniformly thickened, finely warted walls, measuring (15–)18–22(–25) × 7–10 μm. Asexual fruiting bodies (pycnidia) have not been observed to occur in this species. Standard spot tests on the thallus give C–, K+ (pale yellow), Pd–, and UV– reactions, consistent with the presence of atranorin.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Tetramelas papillatus has a bipolar range, occurring in both polar regions with outliers on high mountains. In the Northern Hemisphere it is widespread in Arctic–alpine habitats, recorded from central and northern Europe (including Scandinavia), West Greenland, Novaya Zemlya, the East Caucasus, arctic Asia, and arctic and alpine North America. It also reaches high elevations in the Himalayas. In Nepal, it has been reported at 4,650 m elevation in a compilation of published records; this reported range lies above the tree line used in the study. In the Southern Hemisphere it is known from New Zealand and has scattered Antarctic records (James Ross Island off the north-east coast of Graham Land, and King George Island in the South Shetlands). There are no verified records from Australia or Chile. In Fennoscandia, T. papillatus is rare and confined to subalpine and alpine belts.
