Leucoscypha sp. or something else?

Hello and greetings from Bosnia & Herzegovina and Sarajevo, this is my first post to ascofrance, but surely not the last.
I`m curious about the Pezizales illustrated and shown bellow. I found three fruit bodies in the dry but still wet stream bank, accompanied by Trichophaea woolhopeia and Humaria hemisphaerica. Specimens were growing from the wet soil covered with the a little moss (not sure which species), and some kind of gametophyte, apothecia 0,3-0,5 cm in diammeter.
Other micro data are mentioned at the drawing.
Could be this some species of Leucoscypha, by the fusiformes shape of the ascospore it looks like possible solution for me, but I don` have proper literature, works and key for this genus...
Full mature spore dimesions: 24-25x8-8,5
I would be very thankful if someone find solution (I still have one live fruit body in the box, for potential further neccessary analyses).
Also I would appreciate if someone could mail me any litterature about this genus (besides L. semmi-immersa and L. patavina).

Dear Nedim
Please compare with Peziza gerardii (see my card on Ascofrance), The asci of this species have an very irregular reaction in Melzer.

Re : Leucoscypha sp. or something else?
Dear Nedim?
IKI negative is really surprising with these features and I agree Carlos's proposal.
I think that no Leucoscypha is purple and species are clearly hairy.
Maybe you have to try another iodine reagent but I remember having tried several ones (Melzer and Lugol) on Peziza varia without success. Nothing is perfect!
Cheers

Re : Leucoscypha sp. or something else?
Dear Enrique,
Thank you very much for your quick response, and very useful hints.
Yes, now I see clearly match after comparing it with your findings.
As you`ve mentioned, although I`ve made a note that reaction with J was negative, I`ve noticed some strange irregulary, barely visible light bluish/or even greenish pigment in the upper part of the asci.

Désolé, j'ai pas pu résister...
Sorry Nedim for this private joke! I agree with my colleagues, it looks like Peziza gerardii.
