Arthothelium macounii is a highly oceanic species that is known from a single locality on Stord in Vestland. It is characterized by the brownish black maculate apothecia, orange-red pigment in the apothecia, and a thin, pale olive-grey thallus with trentepohlioid photobiont. The brown and warted spores are divided by 4–6 transverse and 1–2 longitudinal septa. The apical cell is enlarged.
