Leptosphaeria macrocapsa - Species Description

I recently collected a sample of what I believed would be Phoma macrocapsa, growing on a dead stem of Mercuralis perennis (Dog's Mercury).
Instead, I found that I had collected a Leptosphaeria sample. L. macrocapsa being the most likely species on this host.
The reference in Species Fungorum = Stud. Mycol. 75 : 19 (2012) [2013] does not provide a species description.
I wonder if anyone has a copy of the species description / illustrations of the sexual state Leptosphearia macrocapsa, which I can compare with the sample that I collected.
Thank You,
With Best Wishes,
Peter.
