Modern status of Oospora lasiosphaeriae in Gabarnaudia

Dear Friends During investigation of my sample, I found an interesting representative of fungicolous fungi. I think it's "Oospora lasiosphariae", described in 1952 by French mycologist Gabriele Arnaud. In 1974 the name was reduced to synonyms of Gabarnaudia betae (anamorphic Sphaeronaemella).
Having studied the situation its seems to me that this decision was not entirely justified and it is possible that Oospora lasiosphariae deserves to be an independent species (as Gabarnaudia lasiosphaeriae).
I can get culture of this species, but have no possibility to compare it with the culture of Gabarnaudia betae. Maybe someone interested in this work and will help me to understand the actual status of Oospora lasiosphaeriae?
Is anyone of you meet this species earlier?
I am waiting for your criticisms and ideas.
Alex
