That page states:

Relation to Cordyceps and other fungi

Beauveria bassiana is the anamorph (asexually reproducing form) of
Cordyceps bassiana. The latter teleomorph (the sexually reproducing form)
has been collected only in eastern Asia.

Regardless of that fact, according to Species Fungorum, Beauveria bassiana
is the currently correct name (I am not sure how the anamorph/teleomorph
stuff works, perhaps others will know...)
