I'm not aware of any molecular study of Aleuria and Melastiza. I have seen most Czech and Slovak collections of A. cestrica, but A. luteonitens (which should have bigger spores according to various keys) wasn't found here yet. Have you seen this Moravec's article? https://czechmycology.org/_cm/CM344.pdf#page=43
SEM photos of ornamentation of some Aleuria spp. are in the following articles. Not of luteonitens, though.
