The species is recognizable for the perforations to the branch tips of the thallus and for their triangular-globular, polar spores incompletely reticulate. Distal face with smooth, irregular low ridges, proximal face often granulate; covered with simple or branching ridges (

This species is a lichenicolous pycnidial coelomycete, commensal to pathogens on the apothecia and thalli of the Lecanora strobilina (Spreng.) Kieff. complex, and recognized by the characteristic 1(–2)-septate, often asymmetric, tadpole-shaped conidia (

Agonimia octosporais an epiphytic microlichen with squamulose thallus and more or less scattered perithecia, often sterile. Growing on basal parts of old trees, usually on bark among mosses, it is overlooked in the field not only for the small squamules of the thallus (0.05-0.25 × 0.05-0.12 mm). These two records confirm the scarce poleotolerance (

Paoli (SIENA). – Species confirmed for the flora of Toscana.
The species has a squamulose thallus, with minutely papillate and hairy surface. Due to the small dimensions, in the field it could be confused with young specimens of Physconia servitii (Nádv.) Poelt or Phaeophyscia hirsuta (Mereschk.) Essl. Agonimia opuntiella is rare and likely underestimated in Italy. A previous record in Toscana has been reported for the province of Grosseto, on Olea europaea L. (
