Came into my mind Finnish folkband Värttinä. It hasn´t got much to do with prog, but anyway I really have liked it, specially their 80-90 albums (their newer material has electro elements). Here´s one of their piece:

Although Blood Ceremony's "The Eldritch Dark" isn't in the same zip code as Spirogyra, I find the witchy, folkish female vocals, organ, and pagan flute sneaking into a secret Black Sabbath ceremony quite enjoyable.

Doc mentioned them... I'll heartily endorse them.

Espers...  I LOVE that band..  and seemingly very much what you are looking for.

If you are looking for the same quality of the bands you mentioned, yes, I think it died.

Definitely check Comus, if you still haven't heard them. And Jan Dukes De Grey. They are not modern, but essential.

Finnish new prog has lots of folk elements, although they´re not using that much acoustic instruments than before. Here´s one new band, Viima:

Also, if you´re not yet familiar with Comus that is old band, I highly recommend it to you! They´ve also made new album, Out Of the Coma in 2012.

^I also like Circulus...psychy weird folk... though to me they aren't really that close to Spirogyra or Pentangle for that matter....who are more like Fairport Convention or Trees imho.
You might like Wolf People....but it has a dark prog folk edge to it.
I like Espers but again they have a moody psychy edge and not quite as playful as Spirogyra was.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

The closest I’ve come is the band CIRCULUS. They are modern, psych-folk with male and female vocals. I really enjoy The Lick At The Tip Of The Envelope. Beautiful cover-art too !!

Are there any modern bands that do the psych folk male/female duo type thing? I don't really know what's out there. It seems like that type of music died off.
