Stictis on Arbutus unedo

I think this fungus, growing on the thin bark of Arbutus unedo, belongs to the genus Stictis. This is my first observation of species in this genus and I don't know if it is possible to reach the species. I have no key for this genus.
The asci are very long, up to 200 x 7 µm, and some of the acicular spores seem to be almost as big (2-2.5 µm in width), though I have no precise measures.
I attach some photos of it and of the corresponding microscopy and I will appreciate any suggestion about its classification.
Thanks in advance,
zaca

Re : Stictis on Arbutus unedo
Thanks very much, Chris. for sending me the paper.
This is a long paper and will take time to diggest. If anyone has experience in this type of fungi and would like to give me his opinion about this one, I would appreciate.
Thanks,
